Answer:

L(t) = 1100(1.87)^(t/2.4)

Corrected question;

On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapidly increases as the trees blossom. The locust population gains 0.87 of its size every 2.4 days, and can be modeled by a function, L, which depends on the amount of time, t (in days). Before the first day of spring, there were 1100 locusts in the population. Write a function that models the locust population t days since the first day of spring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Initial amount P = 1100

Rate of growth r = 87% = 0.87

Time step k = 2.4 days

The case above can be represented by an exponential function;

L(t) = P(1+r)^(t/k)

Where;

L(t) = locust population at time t days after the first day of spring

P = initial locust population

r = rate of increase

t = time in days

k = time step

Substituting the given values;

L(t) = 1100(1+0.87)^(t/2.4)

L(t) = 1100(1.87)^(t/2.4)

the locust population t days since the first day of spring can be modelled using the equation;

L(t) = 1100(1.87)^(t/2.4)

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).
QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}

Using the section formula expressed as

[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

In this case,

\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, by substitution, we have

\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
