Answer:
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(1) / P(0) = 40r / 40 = 62/40
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.
This is the quadratic formula.
Answer:
<em>Equation of line; y = - 6x</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
As we can see from this graph, point ( 0, 0 ) lying on this graph intersects the y - axis such that it forms a y - intercept of 0;
At the same time we can note that the change in y / change in x, in other words the slope, differs by a rise of 6 / run of - 1, 6 / - 1 being a slope of - 6;
If this equation is in slope - intercept form ⇒
y = a * x + b, where a ⇒ slope, and b ⇒ y - intercept,
<em>Equation of line; y = - 6x</em>
Hello!
Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8
Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8
Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0
Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:
Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2
The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.
Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69
Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.
Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947
Simplifying
x = 2.340121947
Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
