Answer:

y = 130,000(1.03)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of an exponetial function is y = abˣ, where a is the initial value (when x = 0), and b is the multiplier (the growth or decay factor). Here, we start with a population of 130,000, so our initial value a = 130,000. A growth of 3% each year represents a growth factor of 1.03, so after x years, the population y should be y = 130,000(1.03)ˣ.

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

16 is half of 32 so it would only be reasonable that x=2 so when you multiply 16x2 you get 32.

<span> It would depend on the number of rows?

This is an arithmetic sequence and the sum of n terms is --> n/2(2a+(n-1)d), where a is the first term and d is the common difference. In this case a = 10, d =6

n/2(20+6(n-1)) = 3n^2 + 7n = ANSWER

n = number of rows
