Answer:
<u><em>k = 0.2645</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given model:
y = 4070 
y = no. of hits website received = 9000 (in 3rd month)
t= no. of months website has been operational = 3
put in the above equation:
9000 = 4070 
= 
=
<u><em>Taking natural logarithm on both sides, we get:</em></u>
=
= 3k ln<em>e</em>
ln<em>e</em>=1
= 3k
or k = 

k =
(0.7936)
<em>k = 0.2645</em>

X is the number
sum means add
sum of half a number and 4 means
(x/2)+4
result is -16
(x/2)+4=-16
minus 4 both sides
x/2=-20
times 2 both sides
x=-40
the number is -40
