The function represents exponential growth (since the exponent is positive).
The percentage increase is, if I'm not mistaken, 181.3% (since 710 is just a constant, we don't need to worry about that - it won't affect the growth rate of the function)
-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2
-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5
solution is (2,5)
Answer:
im not the best at algebra but
2a+3b+4c
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract
(2a−3b+4c) from the sum of (a+3b−4c),(4a−b+9c) and (−2b+3c−a).
add
=(a+3b−4c)+(4a−b+9c)+(−2b+3c−a)
=(a+4a−a)+(3b−b−2b)+(−4c+9c+3c)
=4a+8c
then subtract
=(4a+8c)−(2a−3b+4c)
=4a+8c−2a+3b−4c
=2a+3b+4c
Answer:
698 fishes
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;
y = a•(1 + r)^t
originally, there were 3 fishes
The original value in this case means a = 3
After 6 weeks, there were 31
31 in this case is y
r is the increase percentage or rate
t is the time
So, we have it that;
31 = 3•(1 + r)^6
31/3 = (1 + r)^6
10.33 = (1 + r)^6
ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)
ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)
e^0.3892 = (1 + r)
1 + r = 1.476
r = 1.476-1
r = 0.476 or 47.6%
So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%
For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;
So ;
y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14
y = 3(1.476)^14
y = 698 fishes
