Answer:
Common difference is 3. And the first term is 64.
Step-by-step explanation:
The differnce between 21 and 10 is 11. So there are 11 unknown numbers in between. And the difference between 37 and 4 is 33. 33/11 is equal to 3. So the pattern is minus three. the first term is 9 terms before 37. 9 times 3 is 27. 37+27 is equal to 64. so the first term is 64
Multiply it out
x^2 + 4x -8x -32
Combine like terms
x^2 -4x - 32
(4x2) + (3x1)=11
I think that's right, can you have a plus sign
I am guessing that the correct form of equation
is:
f(x)
= 16,800(0.9)^x
where
x is the exponent of (0.9)
Since
we are looking for the original population and x stand sfor the number of years,
therefore x=0
substituting:
f(x) = 16,800(0.9)^0
Since (0.9)^0 would just be equal to 1. Therefore
the original population is
16,800.
Answer: B. 16,800
