Imagine a new pasture with grass growing on it. Every day after the seeds have germinated, the number of blades of grass in the

pasture triples. After 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass. How many days did it take for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass?

Answer:

It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number of blades of grass is triple every day

- Consider that there are x blades in the first day

∵ The number of blades of grass is triple every day

∴ The next day the number of blades of grass will be 3x

∴ The formula to find the number of blades of grass after d days is

   x(3)^{d}

- After 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass

∵ d = 18

∴ The number of blades of grass = x(3)^{18}

- We need to know the the number of days that took for the pasture

  to be one-third covered in grass

∵ The number of blades of grass for 1/3 covered = (\frac{1}{3})x(3)^{18}

∴ (\frac{1}{3})x(3)^{18}=x(3)^{d}

- Remember  \frac{1}{3}=3^{-1}

∴ 3^{-1}x(3)^{18}=x(3)^{d}

- Remember we add the power of the same bases when we

 multiply them

∴ x(3)^{-1+18}=x(3)^{d} ⇒ divide both sides by x

∴ (3)^{17}=(3)^{d}

- Remember if the two bases equal in the equation, then their

 powers are equal

∴ d = 17

* It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y=6x−1 and passes through the point (−3,4)?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: y = 6x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope. So, a line parallel to y = 6x − 1 is y = 6x + c.

Now to find c, put (-3,4) to this equation since the line passes through the point.

4 = 6 × -3 + c

4 = -18 + c

4 + 18 = c

c = 22

So, equation is y = 6x + 22

the population of woodstock, Ga is about 23,896 people,and the city encompasses 11.3 square miles. What is the population densit
aev [14]

The population density of Woodstock is 2114.7 people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density is the number of people per square kilometer or per square mile

Given

Number of people = 23896

Area = 11.3 square miles

The population density is given by the formula:

Population\ density=\frac{Number of People}{Area}\\=\frac{23896}{11.3}\\=2114.69=>2114.7\ people\ per\ square\ mile

Hence,

The population density of Woodstock is 2114.7 people per square mile
