B. 1 and 5 are factors of all three numbers :)
We use P = i•e^rt for exponential population growth, where P = end population, i = initial population, r = rate, and t = time
P = 2•i = 2•15 = 30, so 30 = 15 [e^(r•1)],
or 30/15 = 2 = e^(r)
ln 2 = ln (e^r)
.693 = r•(ln e), ln e = 1, so r = .693
Now that we have our doubling rate of .693, we can use that r and our t as the 12th hour is t=11, because there are 11 more hours at the end of that first hour
So our initial population is again 15, and P = i•e^rt
P = 15•e^(.693×11) = 15•e^(7.624)
P = 15•2046.94 = 30,704
Answer:
2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because you can simply do the butterfly method and multiply 4 times 2 which is 8 for 2/7 and 7 times 1 for 1/4 which is 7 so 2/7 is greater than 1/4
