An exponential model is used to represent growth of a population
The population after 3 years is 2585
The function is given as:

<em>3 years after</em>, means that x = 3
So, we have:

Evaluate exponents


Approximate

Hence, the population after 3 years is 2585

Answer:
no, it's not.
Step-by-step explanation:
300- 284 = 16
284 - 236 = 48
236 - 156 = 80
156 - 44 = 112
for every one the top line goes up, the bottom line changes too, but it's not at a constant rate. it's not constant, therefore it cannot be linear.
the rate of change formula (or slope formula, they're the same thing) is :
y2- y1/ x2 -x1 and to solve it you plug in the points. x is the same a t and y is h
284-300/ 1-0
-16 /1
-16 (this is the rate of change between the first two points)
236- 284/ 2-1
-48/ 1
-48 (rate of change between the second and third points)
since the rate of change isn't constant, it's not possible for it to be a linear relationship.
The solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)
Given the systems of equations expressed as:
-x + 4y = 5 ....................1
x - 5y = -2 ...................... 2
Add both equations to have:
-x+x + 4y - 5y = 5 - 2
4y-5y = -3
-y = -3
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into equation 1:
-x + 4(3) = 5
-x + 12 = 5
-x = 5 - 12
-x = -7
x = 7
Hence the solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)
