Answer:
698 fishes
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;
y = a•(1 + r)^t
originally, there were 3 fishes
The original value in this case means a = 3
After 6 weeks, there were 31
31 in this case is y
r is the increase percentage or rate
t is the time
So, we have it that;
31 = 3•(1 + r)^6
31/3 = (1 + r)^6
10.33 = (1 + r)^6
ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)
ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)
e^0.3892 = (1 + r)
1 + r = 1.476
r = 1.476-1
r = 0.476 or 47.6%
So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%
For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;
So ;
y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14
y = 3(1.476)^14
y = 698 fishes
Answer:350,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = -2
y = 2/(3*-2) + 3
y = 2/-6 + 3
y = -1/3 + 3
y = -1/3 + 9/3
y = 8/3
Answer:
5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at your function (h(t) = -16t^2 + 48t + 160), I see that the peak height will be 196 feet, and that is achieved in 1.5 seconds.
h(1.5) = -16(1.5)^2 + 48(1.5) + 160
h(1.5) = -16(2.25)+ 48(1.5) + 160
h(1.5) = -36 + 48(1.5) + 160
h(1.5) = -36 + 72 + 160
h(1.5) = 36 + 160
h(1.5) = 196
Going down from that height, it would take 3.5 more seconds, so it would take 5 seconds in total
h(5) = -16(5)^2 + 48(5) + 160
h(5) = -16(25) + 48(5) + 160
h(5) = -400 + 48(5) + 160
h(5) = -400 + 240 + 160
h(5) = -400 + 400
h(5) = 0
