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 this problem T=u+v/2 solve for u
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<h2>u = 2T - v</h2>

T =  \frac{u + v}{2}

Cross multiply

We have

2T = u + v

u + v = 2T

Move v to the right side of the equation to make u stand alone

We have the final answer as

<h3>u = 2T - v</h3>

Hope this helps you
