Answer:

The time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth function of the insects is exponential.

The exponential growth function is:

y=a(1+r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>t</em> = time taken

It is provided that there were 270 insects after 9 days and initially there were 80 insects.

Compute the value of <em>r</em> as follows:

y=a(1+r)^{t}\\\\270=80(1+r)^{9}\\\\3.375=(1+r)^{9}\\\\\ln(3.375)=9\cdot \ln(1+r)\\\\0.135155=\ln(1+r)\\\\1+r=1.14471\\\\r=0.145

Now, compute the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects as follows:

800=80(1+0.145)^{t}\\\\10=(1.145)^{t}\\\\\ln(10)=t\cdot \ln(1.145)\\\\t=17.00522\\\\t\approx 17

Thus, the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.

PLEASE help me with this question!! I really need help!
alexdok [17]

Answer:

324π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere = 4πr² ( r is the radius )

Calculate r using the volume (V) formula

V = \frac{4}{3}πr³

Here V = 972π , thus

\frac{4}{3}πr³ = 972π ( divide both sides by π )

\frac{4}{3}r³ = 972 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

4r³ = 2916 ( divide both sides by 4 )

r³ = 729 ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[3]{729} = 9

Thus

surface area = 4π × 9² = 4π × 81 = 324π in²

Day X = 33; Day Y = 44. What is the percent change from day X to day Y?
Serhud [2]

Answer: 33.3% increase, pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation: Big number- Small number, and then divided by the first number: 44-33=11. 11 divided by 33 ( original) is 0.3333, and then change the decimal to a percent, which is 33.3%.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

<h2>k = 31/9</h2><h2>b = 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>k - 4</u> = 3

   9

k/9  = 3(9) + 4

k = 31/9

k = 31/9

<u>8 + b </u> = -5

  -4

8 + b = -5 (-4)

8 +  b = 20

b = 20 - 8

b = 12
