We have to answer what does the 15 represent in the function : f ( x ) = 15 * 2^x, which models the increasing of the frog population at a lake. We know that the frog population doubles every 3 weeks and that: f ( 6 ) = 960. It means that: 15 * 2^ 6 = 15 * 64 = 960. And also f ( 0 ) = 15 * 2^0 = 15 * 1 = 15. Therefore it is a starting population. Answer: The 15 represents <span>B - The starting population.</span>
C
The word “increased” means to add, so C would be the correct answer. Hope this helps!
When x = -3 y = -5
When x = -1 y = -1
When x = 0 y = 1
When x = 2 y = 5
Consider posting each question separately, please.
Given <span>-2.8k-4.31=-15.79 :
1) Isolate the "k" term on the left by adding 4.31 to both sides of this equation.
2) Simplify the right side.
3) Divide both sides by -2.8 and you'll have the answer: k = ?</span>
I believe the answer is $45.75.
I hope this helps.
If you would like an explanation of how I got this, please reply.
