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 is a guess, but I think its A. I could be wrong though.
Answer:
C is the correct answer is yes
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm doing this assignment and I got it correct!
Subtract 7 from both sides
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 7 - 7
Simplify
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
Answer :
The final solutions to the quadratic equation are:
x = 7, -1
4x-10 and 7x-8 are supplementary angles and thus add up to 180 degrees.
Thus, 11x - 18 = 180 degrees.
Combining like terms, 11x = 198, and x = 18.
The two supplementary angles are 4(18)-10 and 7(18)-8, or 62 and 118 degrees.
