Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:
You would have approximately 201 insects.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the final population of the insects, you need to first insert the values of each variable you know into the equation. The initial population at time
would be 100 insects, the rate of population growth coverted to decimal form would be 0.1, and the elapsed time since time
is 7 days. Now the new equation would be
.

⇒
≈ 
⇒
≈ 
You will have 201 insects in 7 days (rounded to the nearest insect).
We can set this problem up as an algebraic equation, which we can then solve to find our answer.
We start at -3. So we can start our equation with that:

However, this doesn't represent any change in temperature, just that we start at -3. To show change, we will use the variable
, where
stands for the number of hours. Each hour accounts for a change of -2.5 in degrees, meaning that we must multiply our
by -2.5. We can now add this term into our equation:

We are trying to find when we will reach -18 degrees, so we will set our entire equation equal to -18 and solve:



It will take us 6 hours, or choice A.
Answer:
given:
principal [P]=8000
rate[r]=15%
population after t years=?
we have
population after t years=P(1+r/100)^t=8000(1+15/100)^t is your answer
