The function f(x) = 4(3)x represents the growth of a dragonfly population every year in a remote swamp. Erin wants to manipulate

the formula to an equivalent form that calculates four times a year, not just once a year. Which function is correct for Erin's purpose, and what is the new growth rate?

Answer:

f(x)=4(1.32)^{4x}

New growth rate = 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The exponential growth function is,

f(x)=a(1+b)^x

Where,

a = initial value,

b = growth rate per period,

x = number of period,

Here, the given function that shows the population growth every year,

f(x)=4(3)^x=4(1+2)^x

By comparing,

Initial population, a = 4,

Let r be the rate per 4 times a year,

Thus, the function that shows the population growth four times a year,

f(x)=4(1+r)^{4x}

According to the question,

4(1+r)^{4x}=4(3)^x

(1+r)^x=3^x

Taking log  both sides,

x\log(1+r)=x\log3

\log(1+r)=\log3

By graphing calculator,

r=0.316=31.6\% \approx 32\%

Hence, the required function would be,

f(x)=4(1+0.32)^x=4(1.32)^x

And, rate per period is 32%.

The ratio of the heights of two similar cylinders is 1:3. If the volume of the smaller cylinder is 67cm cubed, find the volume o
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

volume = 1809 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the height of two similar cylinder is 1:3 . The volume of the smaller cylinder is 67 cm³. The volume of the larger cylinder can be computed below:

If 2 object are similar and the ratio of the corresponding sides is x ,then the ratio of their volume is x³.

ratio of height = 1/3

ratio of volume = (1/3)³ = 1/27

volume of smaller cylinder/volume of larger cylinder = 1/27 = 67/x

where

x = volume of the larger cylinder

x = 27 × 67

x = 1809  cm³

volume = 1809 cm³
