Answer:
7.92 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find t such that ...
3 = 2^(t/5)
where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.
Taking logs, we have ...
log(3) = (t/5)log(2)
t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years
It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.

The answer is 40 can I please get brainleist
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope using two points you need to find the difference in x and y. You use 
So, 2-0=2 and 5-(-4)=9. Therefore the slope is 2/9x
Answer:
2/15
Step-by-step explanation:
If you graph it on a line, 2/15 will be the closest to 0.
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and

, then we can write it as

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use

as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
