Answer:

The maximum weight of the second box is 125 pounds. (The box can weight  less than 125 pounds, but no more than 125 pounds since the total weight of the boxes cannot be more than 300 pounds.)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y ≤ 300

175+y ≤ 300

Substract 175 on both sides:

y ≤ 125

Answer:

X+y<300 pounds

175-x=100

X=125

If a population of 100 cells triples every hour, which function represents p(t), the population after t hours?
tia_tia [17]
Exponential functions are in the form f(x)=a*b^x, where <em>a</em> is the initial value, <em>b</em> is the growth rate (percent increase) + 1, and <em>x</em> is the number of time periods.  Our initial value is 100, and we're given the growth rate + 1 (tripling is the same as increasing by 200%; 200%=2.0; 2.0+1=3).  Therefore our function is p(t)=100*3^t.
