Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.
To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.
N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)
This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
b = 3
500a + 1500(3) = 15000
500a + 4500 = 15000
500a = 10500
a = 21

5(5a+3)=14a-29 -- expand brackets
25a+15=14a-29 -- subtract 15 and subtract 14a from both sides
11a=-44 -- divide by 11
a=-4
