<h3>
Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
Answer:
1) The size of the colony after 4 days is 6553 mosquitoes
2) After
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question you must use the growth formula

Where
is the initial population of mosquitoes = 1000
t is the time in days
k is the growth rate
N is the population according to the number of days
We know that when t = 1 and
then N = 1600
Then we use these values to find k.

Now that we know k we can find the size of the colony after 4 days.

To know how long it should take for the population to reach 10,000 mosquitoes we must do N = 10000 and solve for t.

Answer:
5 km
Step-by-step explanation:
10/4 = 2.5
2 x 2.5 = 5
