At the start of the year, 15 chameleons were introduced into a zoo. The population of chameleons is expected to grow at a rate o

f 41.42% every year. The function below models the population of chameleons in the zoo, where x represents the number of years since the chameleons were introduced into the zoo.
A. The average rate of change in the population between year 4 and year 6 was 41 more than the average rate of change in the population between year 6 and year 8.
B. The average rate of change in the population between year 2 and year 4 was approximately half the average rate of change in the population between year 4 and year 6. C. The average rate of change in the population between year 4 and year 6 was the same as the average rate of change in the population between year 6 and year 8. D. The average rate of change in the population between year 2 and year 4 was approximately double the average rate of change in the population between year 4 and year 6.

Answer:

option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

At the start of the year, 15 chameleons were introduced into a zoo

so, P_0=15

The population of chameleons is expected to grow at a rate of 41.42% every year

so, r=0.4142

and x represents the number of years since the chameleons were introduced into the zoo

now, we can set equation to find total population

and we get

P(x)=P_0(1+r)^x

now, we can plug values

P(x)=15(1+0.4142)^x

P(x)=15(1.4142)^x

Average rate of change between 2 years and 4 years:

we can use formula

A_1=\frac{P(4)-P(2)}{4-2}

now, we can plug values

A_1=\frac{15(1.4142)^{4}-15(1.4142)^{2}}{4-2}

A_1=14.99914

Average rate of change between 4 years and 6 years:

we can use formula

A_2=\frac{P(6)-P(4)}{6-4}

now, we can plug values

A_2=\frac{15(1.4142)^{6}-15(1.4142)^{4}}{6-4}

A_2=29.99770

Average rate of change between 6 years and 8 years:

we can use formula

A_3=\frac{P(8)-P(6)}{8-6}

now, we can plug values

A_3=\frac{15(1.4142)^{8}-15(1.4142)^{6}}{8-6}

A_3=59.99425

now, we will check each options

option-A:

we can see that

A_3-A_2=30

A_3-A_2=30

So, this is FALSE

option-B:

A_1=\frac{1}{2}A_2

So, this is TRUE

option-C:

This is FALSE

option-D:

we got

A_1=\frac{1}{2}A_2

so, this is FALSE

Galina-37 [17]
<span>c. 4.6
       
21 X .22= 4.6
       
Calculating the variance requires finding the product of 21 and 22%. To make this easier we convert 22% into it's decimal form and construct the equation. To back check this answer we can use 10% of 21 voters which equals 2.1% then double that amount to reach 4.2%, knowing that we now have a close approximation of the variance we can eliminate answers a, b, and d, leaving c as the only logical choice.</span>

mario62 [17]
There are a couple ways to do this, but basically you need to convert the units. 

<span>7 yards x 3 ft/yard = 21 feet </span>
<span>4 yards x 3 ft/yard = 12 feet </span>
<span>So the area (in sq. ft) will be: </span>
<span>21 x 12 </span>
<span>= 252 sq. ft. </span>

<span>Alternatively, you can figure the area in square *yards* and then multiply by 9 sq. ft per sq. yard. </span>
<span>7 yards x 4 yards x 9 sq. ft/sq. yard </span>
<span>= 252 sq. ft.

hope this helps :)</span>
