x = number of hours after 9 am (eg: x = 1 means 1 hr after 9 am, so 10 am)
f(x) = population count x hours after 9 am
f(1) = population count at 10 am (1 hour later)
f(2) = population count at 11 am (2 hrs after 9 am)
f(2) - f(1) represents the difference in population counts from 10 am to 11 am, or put another way, how much the population increased during that time interval.
It is an enlargement because the scale factor is 2 and a half
Step-by-step explanation:
Increase the number by 5% of its value.
Percentage increase = 5% × 220
New value =
220 + Percentage increase =
220 + (5% × 220) =
220 + 5% × 220 =
(1 + 5%) × 220 =
(100% + 5%) × 220 =
105% × 220 =
105 ÷ 100 × 220 =
105 × 220 ÷ 100 =
23,100 ÷ 100 =
231
