Given:
Annual population of butterflies after t years is

To find:
The growth rate.
Solution:
The general exponential function is
...(i)
where, a is initial value, t is time and r is growth rate.
We have,

It can be written as
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Initial value : 
Growth rate : 
Therefore, the growth rate is 8.5%.
the multiplication of fractions is very straightforward, numerators across and denominators across, now, let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2( 2d + 2)
2.w + 12
3x - 2y = 7
-2y = -3x + 7
y = 3/2x - 7/2....slope of this line is 3/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -2/3 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/3
(-3,-2).....x = -3 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = -2/3(-3) = b
-2 = 2 + b
-2 - 2 = b
-4 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2/3x - 4 <==
