Since they tell us that this is linear, having a constant rate of change, we can express this as a line:
y=mx+b, where m=slope (change in y divided by change in x) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
First find the slope, or m, which mathematically is:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:
m=(880-440)/(2000-1000)
m=440/1000
m=0.44, so far our line is:
y=0.44x+b, now we can use either data point to solve for b, I'll use (1000,440)
440=0.44(1000)+b
440=440+b
0=b, so our line is just:
y=0.44x
Is 12 Because the pattern is 2+1=3; 4+2=6;
6+3=9; 8+4=12 and 10+5=15

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to see how much the population of goats grows each year. We will see that the correct option is c: 17%.
<h3>
Exponential growth of populations</h3>
We know that:
- The initial number of goats is 1,500.
- After 11 years, the population is 8,400.
The population can be modeled with an exponential equation as:
P(t) = A*(1 + r)^t
Where:
- A is the initial population.
- r is what we want to find, it depends on how much the population increases.
- t is the time in years.
So we have:
P(t) = 1500*(1 + r)^t
And we know that after 11 years the population is 8,400, so we have:
P(11) = 1500*(1 + r)^11 = 8400
Now we can solve this for r:
(1 + r)^11 = 8400/1500 = 5.6
(1 + r) = (5.6)^(1/11) = 1.17
r = 1.17 - 1 = 0.17
r = 0.17
To get it in percentage form, you just need to multiply it by 100%
0.17*100% = 17%
This means that the population increases a 17% each year, so the correct option is c.
