Answer:

  •   <u> 7,692 moose.</u>

Explanation:

The table that shows the pattern for this question is:

Time (year) Population

  0                   40

  1                     62

  2                    96

  3                   149

  4                   231

A growing exponentially pattern may be modeled by a function of the form P(x) = P₀(r)ˣ.

Where P₀ represents the initial population (year = 0), r represents the multiplicative growing rate, and P(x0 represents the population at the year x.

Thus you must find both P₀ and r.

<u>1) P₀ </u>

  Using the first term of the sequence (0, 40) you get:

   P(0) = 40 = P₀ (r)⁰ = P₀ (1) = P₀

Then, P₀ = 40

<u>  2) r</u>

Take two consecutive terms of the sequence:

  • P(0) = 40 r⁰ = 40
  • P(1) = 40 r¹ = 40r = 62
  • P(1) / P(0) = 40r / 40 = 62/40
  • r = 62/40 = 1.55

 

You can verify that, for any other two consecutive terms you get the same result: 96/62 ≈ 149/96 ≈ 231/149 ≈ 1.55

<u>3) Model</u>

 

Thus, your model is P(x) = 40(1.55)ˣ

<u> 4) Population of moose after 12 years</u>

  • P(12) = 40 (1.55)¹² ≈ 7,692.019 ≈ 7,692, which is round to the nearest whole number.

June drove 116 miles and 5.8 hours at this rate how far will she drive in 5 hours​
Sonbull [250]
First we need to calculate how fast she was going in one hour:
116 / 5.8 = 20

then multiply that by 5 to get how far she will go in 5 hours

20 * 5 = 100

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement
faust18 [17]
1:6 because the height of the table tennis net is in inches. And 6 in. is 1/2 a ft. and now we know that the ratio in ft. is 1/2:3. This gets simplified to 1:6
