Just replace X with the given value.
X = -3
f(-3) = 5 - (-3)
f(-3) = 5 +3
f(-3) = 8
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to find the number of years that it will take the population to double.
To do this, we have to apply the exponential growth function:

where y = final value
a = initial value
r = rate of growth
t = time (in years)
For the population to double, it means that the final value must be 2 times the initial value:

Substitute the given values into the function above:

To solve further, convert the function from an exponential function to a logarithmic function as follows:

Solve for t:

It will take 9 years for the population to double.

Step-by-step explanation:
A.) the degrees inside the triangles are 50, 70, and 60. you know because 180-120=60
b.) you know that they are similar triangles because they have the same angle degrees.
im not sure if this is correct but i think it is :)
Answer:
x = ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x ^2 -4 = 8
Add 4 to each side
3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4
3x^2 =12
Divide each side by 3
3x^2 =12
3x^2/3 = 12/3
x^2 = 4
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)
x = ±2
