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?

F(x)=4(3^(1/4))^4x ....131.6%

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%.

If a basketball player consistently shoots 80% from the free throw line and she takes 25 free throw shots throughout the course
faltersainse [42]
The formula for percentage is:

is/of = %/100

In the given problem,
is = ?
of = 25
% = 80

We get,

?/25 = 80/100

"is" is unknown so let "is" be "x"

x/25 = 80/100

We have to cross multiply.  Meaning, we will multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Therefore,

100x = (80)(25)
100x = 2000
x = 20

The answer is 20.  The basketball player is expected to make 20 free throw shots out of 25 in the entire game.

Convert y − 3 = 1/3(x − 6) to standard form.
qaws [65]

The equation of a straight line in "standard form" resembles Ax + By + C = 0.

Starting with y − 3 = 1/3(x − 6) (which is the equation of a line in point-slope form), remove the fractional coefficient 1/3 by multiplying both sides of this equation by 3:

3y - 9 = x - 6.

We want all terms except for 0 to appear on one side of this equation. Subtract 3y from both sides, obtaining:

-9 = 1x - 3y - 6

Finally, add 9 to both sides, obtaining:

0 = 1x - 3y + 3

This result has the form Ax + By + C = 0, and is thus in standard form.
