Answer:
y=ax+b
a=-0.6020457867
b=-2.256697516 <------- There is your value for b, which is the answer to the problem.
You can use these values for a and b to generate an equation in slope-intercept form, which you can then enter under Y= and view the graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Are you solving for x or y?
Not sure question is complete, assumptions however
Answer and explanation:
Given the above, the function of the population of the ants can be modelled thus:
P(x)= 1600x
Where x is the number of weeks and assuming exponential growth 1600 is constant for each week
Assuming average number of ants in week 1,2,3 and 4 are given by 1545,1520,1620 and 1630 respectively, then we would round these numbers to the nearest tenth to get 1500, 1500, 1600 and 1600 respectively. In this case the function above wouldn't apply, as growth values vary for each week and would have to be added without using the function.
On one hand, the function above could be used as an estimate given that 1600 is the average growth of the ants per week hence a reasonable estimate of total ants in x weeks can be made using the function.
Answer: n/5 - 10 = 18: this would be the equation. Your answer would be 140.
Step-by-step explanation: Let consider the number as ‘X’
Quotient of a number and 5 can be written as
X divided by 5
Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 can be written as
(X divided by 5)-10
Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18 can be written as
(X divided by 5)-10=18
By solving the above equation, find ‘X’
(X divided by 5) = 18 + 10
X/5=28
X = 28 x 5 = 140
Answer: I think 4500.
Step-by-step explanation: Since the doubling time is 10 years, which means another 2500 is added. So all we have to do is add 2500*(8/10) plus the original 2500, and here ya go!
