Ok, basically if you want to find when both equations are equal just make them equal to each other. 0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40.

From there use algebraic steps to find out what x is ( the break - even point ).

0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40

0.855625x - 4x + 20 = 1.265625x + 6x + 40

-0.41x - 4x + 20 = 6x + 40

-4.41x + 20 = 6x + 40

20 = 10.41x + 40

-20 = 10.41x

-1.92122958694 = x

Rounded to the nearest tenth it's -1.9 = x.

Tell me if I got something wrong :)

If a population of 100 cells triples every hour, which function represents p(t), the population after t hours?

tia_tia [17]

Exponential functions are in the form $f(x)=a*b^x$ , where a is the initial value, b is the growth rate (percent increase) + 1, and x is the number of time periods. Our initial value is 100, and we're given the growth rate + 1 (tripling is the same as increasing by 200%; 200%=2.0; 2.0+1=3). Therefore our function is $p(t)=100*3^t$ .
