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

In math how do you figure out distance between numbers
ankoles [38]

Answer:

subtract the number you have from the number you're going to. For example, if you were trying to figure out the distance between 6 and 18, you would subtract 6 from 18 which is 12. I hope this answers your question!

A.) The temperature rises 10 degrees over 3 hours.
(To explain my reasoning is because at 0 hours the temperature was 30 then at 3 hours the temperature moved up to 40 and at 6 the temperature moved to 50 which means every 3 hours its moving up 10 degrees)

How many times larger is 9 x 10^9 than 3 x 10^-4?
andrezito [222]
The larger value is 9 x 10^9
The smaller value is 3 x 10^(-4)

Divide the larger over the smaller
Doing so will have you divide the coefficients 9 and 3 (numbers in front of the "times ten to the..." portions) to get 9/3 = 3. 
Then you'll also subtract the exponents: 9 minus (-4) = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13

In summary so far, we got a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 13

So the final answer is 3 x 10^13 (assuming you want scientific notation)

If you want to convert to standard notation, instead of scientific notation, move the decimal point in 3.0 thirteen spots to the right to get 

30,000,000,000,000

there are 13 zeros (four groups of 3 plus one just after the 3) in that value above. This is the number 30 trillion
