This is a perfect example of exponential decay. In this case the growth factor should be represented by a fraction, and it is! This forest, starting out with apparently ( 800? ) pine trees, has a disease spreading, which kills 1 / 4th of each of the pine trees yearly. Therefore, the pine trees remaining should be 3 / 4.
Respectively 3 / 4 should be the growth factor, starting with 800 pine trees - the start value. This can be represented as such,
- where a = start value, b = growth factor, t = time ( <em>variable quantity</em> )
____
Thus, the function 
can model this problem. The forest after t years should have P( t ) number of pine trees remaining.
(3/4) / (1/6)
(3/4) * (6/1) = 18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4 1/2 days
Answer:
If you were trying to find 15% of 18, that would be multiplying a decimal, but, you need to mutliply a whole number. $120 should be your answer. People, correct me if I'm wrong (seriously though, not 100% sure if this is correct).
Step-by-step explanation:
18 = 15% x Y
18 = 15/100 x Y
Y = 18 × 100/15
Y = 18 × 100 ÷ 15
Y = 120
Answer: g(0) = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x)=3x+2
g(0)=3(0)+2
=2
