The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp. Jackie wants to manipulate the

formula to an equivalent form that calculates three times a year, not just once a year. Which function is correct for Jackie's purpose, and what is the new growth rate?
Answer Options:

f(x) = 4(4)^x; growth rate 400%

f(x) = 4(4)^3x; growth rate 4%

f(x) = 4(1.59)^3x; growth rate 59%

f(x) = 4(1.59)^x; growth rate 4%

The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.

calculates three times a year, not just once a year.

f(x)= 4(4)^x

3 times a year

so x becomes 3x

f(x)= 4(1+r)^{3x}

4(4)^x=4(1+r)^{3x}

Take log on both sides

log(4)^x=log(1+r)^{3x}

log(4)^x=log(1+r)^{3x}

Use log property and move exponent before log

xlog(4)=3xlog(1+r)}

Divide both sides by x

log 4 = 3 log(1+r)

Solve for '1+r'

log 4 = log(1+r)^3

Remove log from both sides

4 = (1+r)^3

take cube root on both sides

1.584740= 1+r

1+r = 1.59

f(x)= 4(1+r)^{3x}

so equation becomes

f(x)= 4(1.59)^{3x}

1+r = 1.59

subtract 1 from both sides

So r= 59 = 59%

So growth factor is 59%

Answer is option C

I don’t know how to do this please helppp
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Given the 2 values, height and the base, of these 2 triangles, we can assume that they are similar (meaning they share the same angles) as we have no other information to determine the height of the tree.

Therefore, if these triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional. In other words, PZ/RT = QZ/ST or RT/PZ=ST/QZ

Hence, if we find the ratio of this, we can use it to find the side <em>h</em>

<em>QZ/ST=PZ/RT</em>

<em>48/12=PZ/4</em>

<em>PZ/4=48/12</em>

<em>(PZ/4)3=48/12</em>

<em>PZ(3)/12=48/12</em>

<em>48/3=16</em>

16=PZ.

ASAP! Due tomorrow! 25 points! Read the word problem. Write an equation to represent the word problem. Solve the equation. Durin
Marrrta [24]
What you gotta take from this problem:

What Joe got during break = 2t+2

What his sister gave him = 3t

What he has total = 10 tadpoles.


Now to assemble this equation:

2t+2+3t=10

Now combine like terms to get 5t+2=10

Subtract 2 on each side of the equation to get 5t=8

Now you would divide 5 on each side and get t=1.6 , however since you can't have a .6 of a tadpole, you would have to round it up to 2.
