Answer: D) f(n)=8(1.5)^{n-1}


Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table we can see that this is not representing a linear function as the rate of change is not constant.

So it can be exponential growth function A(b)^{n-1},  where A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of growth and n is the time period in weeks.

Now here at n=1 , f(n)=8

Therefore, A=8

Now, for n=2

f(2)=8(b)^{2-1}\\\Rightarrow12=8b\\\Rightarrow\ b=\frac{12}{8}\\\Rightarrow\ b=1.5

By substitute the values of A and b in the above equation, we get the equation f(n)=8(1.5)^{n-1}

Therefore, the function best shows the relationship between n and f(n) is

f(n)=8(1.5)^{n-1}, where n is the number of weeks.

We are given with the data on teh number of squirrels seen in each week. In this case, the number of squirrels seen increases as week goes. This is a geometric series with a ratio of 1.5 and a1 equal to 8. The equation should be 8 (1.5)^(n-1) where n is the number of weeks. The answer is option D.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

28.5^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is, b(base)+c(height)= b+c over 2.  b+c/2.

B=19ft in this problem.

C=38ft

Knowing this, we can further simplify.

19+38/2

Now, we add 19 and 38.

(57)

57/2= 28.5

So, the anwser is 28.5^2

The graph is misleading because the sizes compared to the percentages are off. a more appropriate way to show the data would be with a bar graph.
Hope this helps!
