<h3>Answer: 395 birds</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

The formula to use is

A = P*(1+r)^x

where,

P = 12000 is the initial population

r = -0.15 represents the growth rate in decimal form; which is really a decay/decrease due to r being negative

x = 21 days have passed by (3 weeks = 3*7 = 21 days)

These values lead to...

A = P*(1+r)^x

A = 12000*(1+(-0.15))^21

A = 12000*(1-0.15)^21

A = 12000*(0.85)^21

A = 12000*0.03294560142183

A = 395.34721706196

A = 395

To do these, start by looking at the "b" value -6.
divide it by 2

-6/2 = -3

now square this number

(-3)^2 = 9

this is what you need for the "c" value

there is only a 5 for the c value so add 4 to both sides of the equation. ( +4 = +4)

y +4 = x^2 -6x +5 +4
y +4 = x^2 -6x +9
y +4 = (x -3)^2
y = (x -3)^2 - 4

vertex ( 3, -4) upwards facing like a bowl, because the "a" value is positive. So the vertex is the minimum, lowest point on the graph.

Richard’s checking account balance was $57.34 at the beginning of the week. During the week, he recorded the transactions below.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

US$ 132.45

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the missing table.

Given:

Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week = $57.34

<u>Richard’s account balance at the end of the week from the given table:</u>

Deposits of the week = US$ 163.75

Expenses of the week = Groceries + Credit card bill + Gas

Expenses of the week = 25.37 + 50 + 13.27

Expenses of the week = US$ 88.64

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week + Deposits of the week - Expenses of the week

Replacing with the real values:

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = 57.34 + 163.75 - 88.64

                                                                                    =US$ 132.4

Maria is ordering copy paper for her office. The office is low on white paper and on blue paper. She will play 3.50 per ream of
m_a_m_a [10]
So we know that the decimal place will move one right. Well basically let's assume she could have bought these expressions:

x 10 x 3.50 = 35.00
x 9 x 3.50 = 31.50 + 3.75 = 35.25
x 8 x 3.5 = 28 + 3.75 x 2 = 35.5
x 7 x 3.5 = 24.5 + 3.75 x 35.75

We know that there is a pattern. See how the cents goes .25 up each time. So we know she'd buy 6 reams of white because (6 x 3.5 = 21) + (4 x 3.75 = 15) = 36.
