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.

{4x+2y=10<br> y=2x-1<br><br>What is the value of x+y<br><br>A.3.125<br>B.2<br>C.4.5<br>D.3.5​
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

D.3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=10(given)

2x+y=5

y=5-2x-----(1)

y=2x-1------(2)(given)

Since the left side of the equations are the the same,

5-2x=2x-1

4x=6

x=1.5

Sub x=1.5 into eq(1),

y = 5-2(1.5) = 5-3 = 2

so, x+y = 1.5+2 = 3.5
