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.

Given the function f(x) = 4^x - 1, explain and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 1 and x = 4.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1)=4^1 - 1 = 3

f(4) = 4^4 - 1 = 255

rate of change = \frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

(255 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 252 / 3 = 84

General douglas MacArthur, one of the leading generals in World War II was born in 1880 and died in 1964 how old was he when he
malfutka [58]

Answer: he was 84 years old when he died and the fractional part of a century that he live is 21/25

Step-by-step explanation:

General Douglas MacArthur, one of the leading generals in World War II was born in 1880. He died in 1964. The number of years that he lived would be the year he died - the yea he was born. Therefore,

His age when he died

= 1964 - 1880 = 84 years.

The number of years in a century is 100. Therefore, the fractional part of a century that he lived would be

84/100 = 21/25
