Answer:
a)

b)
3,814,698
c)
16.08 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
The question presented here is similar to a compound interest problem. We are informed that there are 400 rice weevils at the beginning of the study. In a compound interest problem this value would be our Principal.
P = 400
Moreover, the population is expected to grow at a rate of 150% every week. This is equivalent to a rate of interest in a compound interest problem.
r = 150% = 1.5
The compound interest formula is given as;

We let y be the weevil population in any given week x. The formula that can be used to predict the weevil population is thus;

b)
The weevil population 10 weeks after the beginning of the study is simply the value of y when x = 10. We substitute x with 10 in the equation obtained from a) above;

Therefore, the weevil population 10 weeks after the beginning of the study is approximately 3,814,698
c)
We are simply required to determine the value of x when y is
1,000,000,000
Substitute y with 1,000,000,000 in the equation obtained in a) above and solve for x;

Hello,
PO²=12²+5²=13²
sin² x= (5/13)²
cos² y=(5/13)²
sin² x=cos² x
Answer:
$296.64
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply 18.54 with 25.
18.54 x 25 = 463.5
Nine of the members have already paid for the cost. Multiply 18.54 with 9, and subtract the amount gotten from the total.
18.54 x 9 = 166.86
463.5 - 166.86 = 296.64
$296.64 still needs to be collected from the members who have not bought a shirt yet.

First divide both sides by 2 so that we can get rid of the parentheses, so we get

now subtract 5 from both sides

then finally we want x alone so we'll divide both sides by 3 and get our final answer!
