Answer:

Y(n) = 400(2.5)^n

Y = 3,814,697 rice weevils

16.1 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict the population of rice weevil for any week after the start of the study ; wwe use an exponential function for this purpose :

y(n) = A(1 + r)^n

Where;

Y(n) = population at week n

r = growth rate ; n = number of weeks

A = initial population at the start of the study

r = 150% = 1.5

Hence, we have the equation :

Y(n) = 400(1 + 1.5)^n

Y(n) = 400(2.5)^n

B.)

Population after 10 weeks

n = 10

Y(10) = 400(2.5)^10

Y = 400 * 9536.7431640625

Y = 3814697.265625

Y = 3,814,697 rice weevils

C)

When population will reach 1,000,000,000

We have :

1,000,000,000 = 400(2.5)^n

1000000000 / 400 = 2.5^n

2500000 = 2.5^n

Take the log of both sides :

log(2500000) = nlog(2.5)

6.3979400 = n * 0.3979400

n = 6.3979400 / 0.3979400

n = 16.077649

n = 16.1 weeks approximately

Which equation models a line that passes through point (-2,2) And has a slope of -8
trasher [3.6K]

So we will be using y=mx+b form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.


2=-8(-2)+b


Firstly, do the multiplication: 2=16+b


Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b



Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14

Which sequence of transformations will produce similar but not congruent figures?
RoseWind [281]
A dilation would produce<span> a </span>similar figure. Therefore, the sequence of transformations that will produce a similar but not congruent figures would be the first and the third option. Figure TUVWX is dilated by a scale factor of 6 and then rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin; and f<span>igure TUVWX is reflected across the x-axis and dilated by a scale factor of 7. Hope this answers your question.</span>
