Answer:
0.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :
P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w
Where w = number of weeks
Recall :
Growth function is generally represented as :
P(t) = A(1 + r)^t
Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time
Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :
(1 + r) = 1.063
r = 1.063 - 1
r = 0.063
Number of days in a week = 7
Hence, growth rate per day = r /7
0.063 / 7
= 0.009
(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%
Answer:
D 20 *1.10 * 1.05
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 19.8 tons of wheat. That is close to 20 tons
We increase by 9.8 percent. 9.8% is close to 10%
When we increase, that is 100% of what we had plus the increase, so we multiply by 100 +10% or 110%. In decimal form that is 1.1
20 *1.10
Then the next year we increase by 5.1%. That is close to 5%
We have 100% plus the 5% or 105%, which in decimal form is 1.05
We multiply what we had (20 *1.10) by 1.05
20 *1.10 * 1.05
This is the total amount we have
3 divide by 5 is 0.6 and you move the decimal two places to the right and your percentage is 60%
if the original value of x was negative then X the opposite sign version of X would have to be positive Princeton's if I start with x equals -3 then x equals -3 equals + 3 which is positive
