A population of insects grows exponentially, as shown in the table. Suppose the increase in population continues at the same rate.

from the given table

when x=0 , y=20

when x= 1 , y = 30

We use this information to find exponential growth equation

General form of exponential growth is

y=a(b)^x

WE plug in the given values and find out value of a  and b

when x=0 , y=20

20=a(b)^0

20 = a

Now we find out b

when x= 1 , y = 30

30=20(b)^1

divide both sides by 20

\frac{3}{2} = b

So exponential function becomes

y=20(\frac{3}{2})^x

Now we find the insect population at the end of week 11

We plug in 11 for x

y=20(\frac{3}{2})^x

y=20(\frac{3}{2})^11= 1729.951171875

Round the answer to nearest whole number

1730 is the insect population at the end of week 11

Solve for x <br><br> X over 4 minus negative nine equals ten point one<br><br> X/4 - -9 = 10.1
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

x=4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

14x+9=10.1

Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.

14x+9−9=10.1−9

14x=1.1

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4.

4*(14x)=(4)*(1.1)

x=4.4
