Answer:
is it multiple choice
Step-by-step explanation:
The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.
We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:
2000 b^3 = 1000
This gets us:
b^3 = 1/2
And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:
b ≈ 0.7937005259841
Rounding that to 4 places, we have:
f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t

Answer:
- Josh: 32 mph, 64 mi
- Greg: 64 mph, 320 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent Josh's rate of travel in miles per hour. After 2 hours, his distance is ...
distance = speed · time
distance = x · 2 = 2x
Then 2x is Greg's rate of travel After 5 hours, his distance is ...
distance = speed · time
distance = (2x) · 5 = 10x
The distance they are apart is ...
10x -2x = 256
8x = 256
x = 32
__
Josh's rate: 32 miles per hour; Josh's distance = (2 h)(32 mi/h) = 64 miles.
Greg's rate: (32 mi/h)·2 = 64 mi/h; Greg's distance = (5 h)(64 mi/h) = 320 miles.
<em>__</em>
<em>Check</em>: 320 miles - 64 miles = 256 miles . . . . correct separation
<span>We write the equation in the standard form which is:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
(x + 15)(x) = 100
x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0
(x + 20) (x-5) = 0
The solutions are
x = -20 and x = 5
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. </span><span>The solution x = 5 should be kept, but x = –20 is unreasonable.</span><span>
