Question:

A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function

p(t) = 1.75(0.97)^t, where t is time in months. Which statement best

describes the population of insects?

A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.

B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.

C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.

D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.

Answer:

A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p(t) = 1.75(0.97)^t

Required

True statement about the function

From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.

An exponential form is:

y=ab^x

Compare to p(t) = 1.75(0.97)^t

b= 0.97\\

If b > 1, then b = 1 + r r represents growth rate

else, b= 1-r r represents decay rate

Since b < 0.97:

0.97= 1-r

r = 1 - 0.97

r = 0.03

r = 3\%

r = 0.03

What is the inverse of f(x)=2^x
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

<h2>{f}^{ - 1} (x) =  \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2^x

y =  {2}^{x}

x =  {2}^{y}

{2}^{y}  = x

ln( {2}^{y} )=ln(x)

yln(2)=ln(x)

<h3>\frac{yln(2)}{ln(2)}  =  \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}</h3><h3>y =  \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}</h3><h3>{f}^{ - 1} (x) =  \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}</h3><h3>Hope it is helpful...</h3>

Coach Pettaway is buying basketball equipment for his team. He gets a
soldier1979 [14.2K]
First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh

I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:

8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.

85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52

$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent

Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12

32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
