Given that the number of years should be represented with x, the number of fish in the pond after x years should best be represented with f(x). The equation that would best show the given scenario in the problem above is,
f(x) = 500(2^x)
From the given, 500 is used as the initial population of the fish.
You will have to type it into Microsoft word first, type a number or algebraic expression into a Word document. Press the "Ctrl," "Shift" and "=" keys on your keyboard to turn on the Superscript mode. Enter another number or expression signifying the exponent.
Hope this helps! :)
Volume of a cube is length * width * height. Because it's a cube, all of these lengths are the same measurement so rather than doing V = l*w*h, we can do one of the measurements cubed, let's call it x.
So Volume = x³. So if we are given the volume, we can the length by doing the cube root.
∛125 = 5
∛216 = 6
Surface area of a cube = 6x². So now we plug both of these measurements into the formula.
For 5:
SA = 6(5)² = 6(25) = 150
For 6:
SA = 6(6)² = 6(36) = 216
The ratio of their surface areas is 150:216 or if you simplify it by dividing both by the GCF of 6, 25:36
If he has $75 and need $93 to make the purchase, he needs to find the difference between what he needs and what he has:
93 - 75 = 18
He needs to borrow $18 to make the purchase.
