The number of bats in a colony is growing exponentially. After 2 years, there were 180 bats. After 5 years, there were 1440 bats

Answer:

23040 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N(t) be the number of bats at time t

We know that exponential function

y=ab^t

According to question

N(t)=ab^t

Where t (in years)

Substitute t=2 and N(2)=180

180=ab^2...(1)

Substitute t=5 and N(5)=1440

1440=ab^5...(2)

Equation (1) divided by equation (2)

\frac{180}{1440}=\frac{ab^2}{ab^5}=\frac{1}{b^{5-2}}

By using the property a^x\div a^y=a^{x-y}

\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{b^3}

b^3=8=2\times 2\times 2=2^3

b=2

Substitute the values of b in equation (1)

180=a(2)^2=4a

a=\frac{180}{4}=45

Substitute t=9

N(9)=45(2)^9=23040 bats

Hence, after 9 years the expected bats in the colony=23040 bats

Please help me answer this question​
sattari [20]

Answer:

a, 14.13. b, 39.25

Step-by-step explanation:

so for a the diameter is 6 so the radius is 3. The equation for the area of the circle is πr2. So 3x3=9. then 9x3.14=28.26. But then we have to divide by two cause we are finding only the shaded area. 28.26/2=14.13.

A is 14.13

for b, its the same thing, so the radiu is 5 and 5x5=25. 25x3.14=78.5, and divide two, so 78.5/2=39.25.

B is 39.25

WARNING: I am not sure this is correct, so if this is wrong i'm sorry, i'm learning too :)
