If we are to derive the equation that models the growth of the amoeba, we make use of the general form:
p = po k^t
where po is the initial population
k is the multiplicative rate of change
From the problem
3po = po k^(20)
k = 1.06
The equation is
p = 800 (1.06)^t
By proportionality, for any number

, if T is multiplied by

then the same goes for M.
a) M has been multiplied by

hence


b) T has been divided by

hence

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:

Distribute to remove parentheses:

For simplification and clarity, reduce all mixed numbers to simplified common fractions:

Combine like terms:

Add 6/5 to both sides, then add 9/5x to both sides:

Divide both sides by -3/5 to isolate x (recall dividing by a number is equal to multiplying by its reciprocal):

(2,4) cause where the lines meet
