Answer:

the tree is 30 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

27/x = 4.5/5

cross multiply

(4.5)(x) = (27)(5)

4.5x = 135

divide the entire equation by 4.5 to isolate x

135/4.5 = 30

x = 30

Ten deer were introduced into a protected preserve. Their expected population doubles each year. Which function represents the s
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

y(t)= 10 (2)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

If t is the number of years given then the expected number can be found by

y(t)= 10 (2)^t

where t takes the value 0,1,2,3, and so on.

Putting t= 0

y(t)= 10 (2)^t

y(0)= 10 (2)^0

y(0)= 10   For the start the number of deer are 10.

Putting t= 1

y(t)= 10 (2)^t

y(1)= 10 (2)^1

y(1)= 20    After 1 year it has doubled to 20

Putting t= 2

y(t)= 10 (2)^t

y(2)= 10 (2)^2

y(2)= 40      After 2 years it has again doubled to 40

Putting t= 3

y(t)= 10 (2)^t

y(3)= 10 (2)^3

y(3)= 80   After 3 years it has again doubled to 80
