F(-3.29) = (-3.29) + 2.58
f(-3.29) = -0.71
1.87 is 8.5% of 22 so 8.5% of 80 is 0.085 x 80 so $6.80
I'm assuming you're referring to problem 6. You are asked to find the number of x intercepts or roots, which is another term for "zero". I prefer the term root or x intercept as "zero" seems misleading. Anyways, all we do is count the number of times the graph crosses the x axis. This happens 4 times as shown in the attached image below. I have marked these points in red. The graph can directly cross over the x axis, or it can touch the x axis and then bounce back. Either way, it is considered an x intercept.
<h3>Answer: there are 4 x intercepts (or 4 roots)</h3>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-The locust population grows by a factor and can therefore be modeled by an exponential function of the form:

Where:
is the population after t days.
is the initial population given as 7600
is the rate of growth
is time in days
-Given that the growth is by a factor of 5( equivalent to 500%), the r value will be 5
-The population increases by a factor of 5 every 22 days. therefore at any time instance, t will be divided by 22 to get the effective time for calculations.
Hence, the exponential growth function will be expressed as:

Answer:
the value will be equal to 0
