Just substitute 3 for x, and it’s 3+1=4. Your answer is 4!
Answer:
C. f(5) = 13 and f(-3) = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 2x + 3
x = 5
x = -3
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
x = 5
- Substitute: f(5) = 2(5) + 3
- Multiply: f(5) = 10 + 3
- Add: f(5) = 13
x = -3
- Substitute: f(-3) = 2(-3) + 3
- Multiply: f(-3) = -6 + 3
- Add: f(-3) = -3
Answer:
The population of the town is 0.983 times the population of the town in the previous year.
B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a function which represent population of a town after t years.

It is an exponential function. Exponential function wither decease or increase it depends on factor.

b is factor which decides factor of exponential function decrease or increase.
- If b >1 then function increase
- If 0<b<1 then function decrease.
If we see our problem
Here, b=0.983<1
Function would be decrease by factor of 0.983
Thus, The population of the town is 0.983 times the population of the town in the previous year.
