Answer:

The number of fringes at d=-2 is given as 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

A Galapagos cactus finch population increases by half every decade. The number of finches is modeled by the expression

,

where d is the number of decades after the population was measured. Evaluate the expression for d = −2

Given :

The number of  finches is modeled by the expression  :

⇒ 45\cdot1.5^d

where d is the number of decades after the population was measured.

To evaluate the expression for d=-2

Solution:

In order to evaluate the given expression to find the number of finches at d=-2, we will plugin -2 for d in the expression and simplify it.

Plugging in d=-2 in the expression:

⇒ 45\cdot 1.5^{-2}

Using negative exponent property. [a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

⇒ 45\cdot \frac{1}{1.5^2}

⇒ 45\cdot \frac{1}{2.25}

⇒ 20   (Answer)

Thus, the number of fringes at d=-2 is given as 20.

This means the number of fringes two decades ago was 20.

Rita earns $10 per hour. She puts 5% of her earnings in savings. Write inequality to find how many hours Rita must work to save
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Rita must work 50 days  to save at least $25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Rita earns per hour  = $10

The saving percentage =  5%

So, the savings of Rita per hour =  5% of $10

⇒5% of $10  = \frac{5}{100}  \times 10  = 0.5

or Rita saves $0.5 per hour.

The amount she wants to save at minimum  = $25

So, let she works at the minimum of k Days.

⇒\textrm{The number of hours she has to work}  = \frac{\textrm{Amount she needs saving}}{\textrm{Amount saved in 1 hour}}

or, k = \frac{25}{0.5}  = 50

The number of hours she has to work  =  50 days

Hence,  Rita must work 50 days  to save at least $25.
