Answer:
There were 10 flies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;
V = I(1+r)^d
where V is the number of flies on a particular day
I is the initial number of flies
r is the constant increase in percentage
and d is the number of days.
So we have for the second day;
60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)
For the fourth day, we have;
360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)
divide equation ii by i; we have;
360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2
6 = (1+r)^2
(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2
1 + r = √6
r = √6 - 1
So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies
Let’s use equation 1
60 = I(1 + r)^2
60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2
60 = I(√6)^2
60 = 6I
I = 60/6
I = 10 flies
I think the answer is the third one
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The line with points (1,2) and (-1,-8). Work out its equation.</u>
<u>The slope is:</u>
- m = (-8 - 2)/(-1 - 1) = -10/-2 = 5
<u>To find the y intercept, substitute x and y-xoordinates of point (1,2):</u>
- 2 = 5(1) + b
- b = 2 - 5
- b = -3
<u>The line is:</u>
<u>Point (x, 17), substitute y-coordinate and solve for x</u>
- 17 = 5x - 3
- 5x = 17 + 3
- 5x = 20
- x = 20/5
- x = 4
You'll set the two expressions equal to 95.
So 2x+119=95
Then 2x=-24
Finally x=-12
