Answer:
y = 10/3x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope of the function. We can do that by using two points and inserting them into the slope formula. It can be any two but I'll just pick (3, 30) and (6, 40).
m = y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂
m = 30 - 40 / 3 - 6
m = -10/-3
m = 10/3
Now we know the slope is 10/3.
In slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is the constant at the end of the equation. The table of values tells us that the y-intercept is located at (0, 20). So the equation of the linear function is y = 10/3x + 20.
Take a look at the image below.
Answer:
698 fishes
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;
y = a•(1 + r)^t
originally, there were 3 fishes
The original value in this case means a = 3
After 6 weeks, there were 31
31 in this case is y
r is the increase percentage or rate
t is the time
So, we have it that;
31 = 3•(1 + r)^6
31/3 = (1 + r)^6
10.33 = (1 + r)^6
ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)
ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)
e^0.3892 = (1 + r)
1 + r = 1.476
r = 1.476-1
r = 0.476 or 47.6%
So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%
For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;
So ;
y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14
y = 3(1.476)^14
y = 698 fishes
