The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.
calculates three times a year, not just once a year.
3 times a year
so x becomes 3x
Take log on both sides
Use log property and move exponent before log
Divide both sides by x
log 4 = 3 log(1+r)
Solve for '1+r'
log 4 = log(1+r)^3
Remove log from both sides
4 = (1+r)^3
take cube root on both sides
1.584740= 1+r
1+r = 1.59
so equation becomes
1+r = 1.59
subtract 1 from both sides
So r= 59 = 59%
So growth factor is 59%
Answer is option C
Using derivatives, it is found that the x-values in which the slope belong to the interval (-1,1) are in the following interval:
(-15,-10).
<h3>What is the slope of the tangent line to a function f(x) at point x = x0?</h3>It is given by the derivative at x = x0, that is:
.
In this problem, the function is:
Hence the derivative is:
For a slope of -1, we have that:
0.4x + 5 = -1
0.4x = -6
x = -15.
For a slope of 1, we have that:
0.4x + 5 = 1.
0.4x = -4
x = -10
Hence the interval is:
(-15,-10).
