Answer:

n = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2/3)n + 7 = 15

(-2/3)n+7-7 = 15-7 Subtract by 7 on both sides

(-2/3)n = 8 Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction, which is

(-2/3)n*(-3/2) = 8(-3/2) This makes it so you get n *1 and isolates n.

n = -24/2 = -12

Answer:

Both get the same results that is,

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}140\\160\\200\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\bf M=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{5}&\frac{1}{5}&\frac{2}{5}\\\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}&\frac{1}{5}\\\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}\end{array}\right]$

and initial population,

$\bf P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}130\\300\\70\end{array}\right]$

a) - After two times, we will find in each position.

$P_2=[P].[M]^2=[P].[M].[M]$

$M^2=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{5}&\frac{1}{5}&\frac{2}{5}\\\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}&\frac{1}{5}\\\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}\end{array}\right]\times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{5}&\frac{1}{5}&\frac{2}{5}\\\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}&\frac{1}{5}\\\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}&\frac{2}{5}\end{array}\right]$

$=\frac{1}{25} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&7&7\\8&8&8\\10&10&10\end{array}\right]$

$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;P_2=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&7&7\\8&8&8\\10&10&10\end{array}\right] \times\left[\begin{array}{ccc}130\\300\\70\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}140\\160\\200\end{array}\right]$
