The problem has the equation:

f(x) = (3) ^ (x/2)

In order to get the average increase in the number of flowers being pollinated from day 4 to day 10, then we need to use the equation substituting x with 4 to 10

f(4) = 9
f(5) = 12.59
f(6) = 27
f(7) = 46.77
f(8) = 81
f(9) = 140.30
f(10) = 243

Then add all the values and divide it by 7
= 559.66 / 7
= 79.95

So the correct answer is 79.95

A flash disk has the capacity of storing 1 megabyte of data. How many kilobytes of data can be stored in the same flash disk

Luden [163]

For this sort of problem, you need to be familiar with prefixes.

So:

megabyte = $1 *10^6$ bytes

kilobyte = $1*10^3$ bytes

and a regular byte would just be $1$

Now, you will need to do a conversion:

$1megabyte*\frac{1*10^6bytes}{1megabyte}*\frac{1*10^{-3}kilobyte}{1byte}$

I'm going to explain this just in case, but we convert megabytes to regular bytes in the first half by using the information I gave you above. (In one megabyte, there are $1*10^6$ bytes!)

In the second fraction thought, remember one kilobyte is $1*10^3$ bytes. However, you usually only see one of each thing on the bottom of fractions, so you need to add a negative sign to the 3. (technically you could just do $\frac{1kilobyte}{1*10^3bytes}$ , but I think it is more correct to do write it out how I did).
