Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to Note

When the beehive was discovered, there were 27 bees

After 3 days, the numbers of bee increased to 36

Progression Type : Exponential (also knows as geometry)

Number of bees after 30 days is unknown

First we need to get the rate of progression (increment or decrement) between the first day and the third day it was discovered

From the question, we have

T1 = 27 ------------- T1 represents number of bees initiallly (1st term)

T2 = 36 ------------- T2 represents 2nd term (number of bees after 3days)

T3 represents 3rd term (after additional 3 days; i.e. 6 days)

T4 represents 4th term (after 12 days)

If you follow this progression, you'll noticed that

T10 = Number of bees on the 30th day

Since, it's an exponential progression; we have to divide to get the rate of progression

R = 36/27 ------------ R represents Rate of progress (also known as common radius)

R = 4/3

Using this progression formula

Tn = aR^(n-1)

Where a = T1 = 1st term = 27

R = Rate of progression = 4/3

n = Number of term = 10

Substituting these values in the progression formula

T10 = 27 * (4/3) ^(10-1)

T10 = 27 * (4/3)^9

T10 = 27 * 262144/19683

T10 = 7077888/19683

T10 = 359.594

T10 = 360 (approximated)

Answer:

P = 36^10 / 3^27

= 479 to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential increase;

36 = 27(c)^3

c^3 = 36/27

c = ∛36/3

So we have the expression:

P = 27(∛36/3)^t   where t is the number of days and P = the population.

After 30 days we have

P =  27(∛36/3)^30

P = 27 * 36^10 / 3 / 3^30

P = 27* (36^1/3)^30 / 3^30

P = 3^3 * 36^10 / 3^30

P = 36^10 / 3^27.

P = 479.

P = 3^3 * 36^10 / 3 ^30

= 36^10 / 3^27

Using the illustration below, calculate the area of the circle.
Keith_Richards [23]
Find thy radius.

Thy radius is 7.25 (D / 2 = R)

Thy formula for area is A = (pi)r^2

Substitute and Solve

A = (pi)r^2
   = (pi)(7.25)^2
   = (pi)(52.5625)
   = 165.04625

Therefore, the area is about 165.
