Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
by idetity : (a - b)²= a² +b² -2ab
for : (x² - 5)² you have a = x² and b = 5
(x² - 5)²= (x²)²+5² - 2(5)(x²)
(x² - 5)²= x^4+25 -10x²
Answer:
Option D 
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
F(x) -----> the rabbit population
x ----> the number of weeks
a is the initial value
b is the base
In this problem we have
a=150 rabbits
b=1-r
r=15%=15/100=0.15
so
b=1-0.15=0.85
substitute the values

3.742, I believe is the answer
For this case we have an equation of the form:
f (w) = A * (b) ^ w
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
w: number of weeks
Substituting values we have:
f (w) = 400 * (1.05) ^ w
Answer:
the beetle population can be determined after a number of weeks, w, with the following function:
f (w) = 400 * (1.05) ^ w
