Answer:
a joke? someone who jokes around?
Answer:
5 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 4. (-1,-1) 3. (3,-2)
4)
Set the equations equal to each other.
4x+3=-x-2
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x=-x-5
Add x to both sides
5x=-5
Divide both sides by 5
x=-1
Next, replace x with -1 in either equation to find y.
-(-1)-2=y
-1=y
3)
Do the same thing for this one and set them equal to each other
-2x+4=-1/3x-1
Add 1 to both sides
-2x+5=-1/3x
Add 2x to both sides
5=5/3x
Divide both sides by 5/3
x=3
Next, replace x with 3 in either equation
-2(3)+4=y
-2=y
Question:
A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function
, where t is time in months. Which statement best
describes the population of insects?
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.
C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.
D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.
Answer:
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
True statement about the function
From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.
An exponential form is:

Compare to 

If
, then
r represents growth rate
else,
r represents decay rate
Since b < 0.97:
