Answer:
What is the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:Bees: f ( t ) = 1,500 * 0.88^tFlowering plants: g ( t ) = 800 - 25 tPart B :f ( 6 ) = 1,500 * 0.88^6 = 696.6 ≈ 697
g ( 6 ) = 800 - 25 * 6 = 800 - 150 = 650Part C :f ( 7 ) = 1,500 * 0.88^7 = 613g ( 7 ) = 800 - 7 * 25 = 625f ( 7 ) ≈ g ( 7 )After approximately 7 months.
Answer:
To find the x-intercepts we can write:
0 = -1/2(x + 3)² + 4
0 = -1/2(x² + 6x + 9) + 4
0 = -1/2x² - 3x - 9/2 + 4
0 = -1/2x² - 3x - 1/2
0 = x² + 6x + 1
x = -3 ± 2√2 (use quadratic formula)
As a decimal this can be written as x = -5.83, x = -0.17.
