Question:
A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function
, where t is time in months. Which statement best
describes the population of insects?
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.
C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.
D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.
Answer:
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
True statement about the function
From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.
An exponential form is:
Compare to
If , then r represents growth rate
else, r represents decay rate
Since b < 0.97:
This relation is a function. None of the x-values repeat. Each y-value belongs to a specific x-value.
Answer:
This is a 25% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
percent change = (old - new)/old * 100 %
The new price is 15
The old price is 20
Since the new price is less than the old price, it is a decrease
percent change = (20-15)/20 * 100 %
= 5/20 * 100%
=.25 * 100%
= 25%
This is a 25% decrease
Answer:
idk
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 can also be written as .25
1 divided by 4 is .25
114 times .25 = answer
154 times .25 = answer
