The population of the moose after 12 years is 7692
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the exponential growth function is , where
- a is the initial value
- b is the growth factor
The table:
→ x : y
→ 0 : 40
→ 1 : 62
→ 2 : 96
→ 3 : 149
→ 4 : 231
To find the value of a , b in the equation use the data in the table
∵ At x = 0 , y = 40
- Substitute them in the form of the equation above
∵
- Remember any number to the power of zero is 1 (except 0)
∴ 40 = a(1)
∴ a = 40
- Substitute the value of a in the equation
∴
∵ At x = 1 , y = 62
- Substitute them in the form of the equation above
∵
∴ 62 = 40 b
- Divide both sides by 40
∴ 1.55 ≅ b
∴ The growth factor is about 1.55
- Substitute its value in the equation
∴ The equation of the population is
To find the population of moose after 12 years substitute x by 12 in the equation
∵
∴ y ≅ 7692
The population of the moose after 12 years is 7692

Hey there!
Let's call this "number" x. We want four times the sum of this number and 15 to equal at least 120.
Therefore, we want this number times four plus fifteen to be greater than or equal to 120. We have:
Distribute:
Subtract:
Divide:
Your answer is C.
Hope this helps!
