A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that its population, P, as a function of w weeks is given by P(w)=24

, 000(1.063)^w

Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :

P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w

Where w = number of weeks

Recall :

Growth function is generally represented as :

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time

Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :

(1 + r) = 1.063

r = 1.063 - 1

r = 0.063

Number of days in a week = 7

Hence, growth rate per day = r /7

0.063 / 7

= 0.009

(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%

Is the function represented by the table linear
Bess [88]

Answer:

No, because it does not have a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the <em>x</em><em> </em>side of the table, there is a constant rate of change (+1). However, on the y side, it is not. The first change is +7, the next +5, and the last +6. The rate of change has to be constant on both sides for the table to be considered linear.

The cost of 12 oranges and 7 coples is 55.36. Eight oranges and apples cost $3.68. Find the cost
victus00 [196]

Hello there i hope you are having a good day :) Your question : The cost of 12 oranges and 7 couples is 55.36. Eight oranges and apples cost $3.68. Find the cost  of each : Firstly you would do oranges = O Apples = A. Then 12 oranges + 7 apples = 5.36 12o + 7A = 5.36 then you would take away from both sides so -12o Take away -12o = 7o = 5.36 - 12A now you would divide this by 7 so 7 cancels each out so you are left with 5.36/ 7 = 0.76 Then it would equal 0.76 - 12o/7 This would equal the amount of apples to be $0.76 each now for the oranges you would do the same that you work out for the apples.

Hopefully that help ya :)

2). Exponents
3). Multiplication
4). Division
5). Addition
6). Subtraction

To remember the order they say it like
