B-> number of boys
G-> number of girls;
Then, according to text
B=3G {1} and
B=G+28 {2}
Substitute {1}->{2} :
3G=G+28 or 2G=28, or G=14
so B=3G=3*14=42
______
Number of Boys =42
Number of Girls =14

Suppose that the amount of algae in a pond doubles every 3 hours. If the pond initially contains 50 pounds of algae, how much al
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

After 8 hour there will be 317.64 pounds of algae.

y-intercept: (0, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

At time = 0 hours, there are 50 pounds of algae, after 3 hour there will be 100 pounds of algae, after 6 hour there will be 200 pounds of algae, and so on.

Exponential growth is modeled by the following equation:

y = x0*(1 + r)^t

where x0 is the amount of algae at the beginning, r is the rate of change, and y is the amount of algae after t hours. Replacing with data:

100 = 50*(1 + r)^3

2 = (1 + r)^3

ln(2) = 3*ln(1 + r)

r = exp(ln(2)/3) - 1

r = 0.26

This result can be checked as follows

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^6 = 200

After 8 hours:

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^8 = 317.64

The y-intercept corresponds to t = 0

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^0 = 50
