Answer: 8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(4x² - 2x - 4)(2x + 4)
= (2x + 4)(4x² - 2x - 4)
= 2x(4x² - 2x - 4) + 4(4x² - 2x - 4)
= 8x³ - 4x² - 8x + 16x² - 8x - 16
= 8x³ + (-4x² + 16x²) + (-8x - 8x) - 16
= 8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16
Answer:
(a). 15
(b). 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Growth of the population of a fruit fly is modeled by
N(t) = 
where t = number of days from the beginning of the experiment.
(a). For t = 0 [Initial population]
N(0) = 
= 
= 
= 15
Initial population of the fruit flies were 15.
(b).Population of the fruit fly colony on 11th day.
N(11) = 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 77.82
≈ 78
On 11th day number of fruit flies colony were 78.
