10.9 = x% of 34
10.9 is the amount
x% is the percent
34 is the base
The answer is b because it is equivalent.
The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.
calculates three times a year, not just once a year.

3 times a year
so x becomes 3x


Take log on both sides


Use log property and move exponent before log

Divide both sides by x
log 4 = 3 log(1+r)
Solve for '1+r'
log 4 = log(1+r)^3
Remove log from both sides
4 = (1+r)^3
take cube root on both sides
1.584740= 1+r
1+r = 1.59

so equation becomes

1+r = 1.59
subtract 1 from both sides
So r= 59 = 59%
So growth factor is 59%
Answer is option C
Answer:
1. x = ±9
2.
3. 12 and -12.
4. Antoine is incorrect. There exists two solutions x=5 and x= -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the questions,
Problem 1.
i.e.
i.e. x = ±9.
Problem 2.
i.e.
i.e.
i.e.
Problem 3. [tex]f(x)=x^{2}-144[tex]
To find the roots, we take, [tex]x^{2}-144=0[tex] i.e. [tex]x^{2}=144[tex] i.e. x = ±12.
Thus, the options are 12 and -12.
Problem 4. We have [tex]f(x)=x^{2}+25[tex]
For the roots, we take, [tex]x^{2}+25=0[tex] i.e. [tex]x^{2}=25[tex] i.e. x = ±5.
Thus, Antoine is not correct and two solutions namely x=5 and x= -5 exists.
