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

1. Which of the following values of n will make the below equation true? n × (−2+5 ) = −8+20
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

1a 2a

Step-by-step explanation:

n × (−2+5 ) = −8+20

n × 3 = 12

n = 4

2 + (n+6) = −1+6

n + 8 = 5

n = -3

Solve for x in each of the equations or inequalities below, and name the property and/or properties used:
nordsb [41]

Answer

a) 3/4 x = 9

    x = \dfrac{9\times 4}{3}

    x = 12

b)  10+ 3x = 5x

     2 x = 10

        x = 5

c) a + x = b

       x = b - a

d) c x = d

      x =  \dfrac{d}{c}

e)  \dfrac{1}{2} x - g < m

     \dfrac{1}{2} x< m + g

              x  < 2( m + g)

f) q + 5 x = 7 x - r

   q + r = 2 x

      x = \dfrac{q + r}{2}

Help me please, kinda lost
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

400cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, you need to find the surface areas of both objects, then add them together.

For the cube:

56cm for the front

56cm for the back

42cm for the side

42cm for the other side

48cm for the top

48cm for the bottom

SA for the cube: 292cm^2

For the triangle, things are a little different. We do the same process that we did to find the SA of the cube, but we do not have to find the SA of the top side (because there isn't a top side) and we have to divide the total SA by 2 because it's a triangle.

For the triangle:

42cm for the front

42cm for the back

54cm for the slanted side

42cm for the other side

36cm for the bottom

SA for the triangle: (216/2)^2=108cm^2

292+108=400cm^2

the SA of the composite figure is 400cm^2
