1 answer:
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
We're told that each carton holds two dozen eggs, or 24 eggs. To find out how many cartons the farm will need, we divide the total amount of eggs by the amount of eggs that fit in each carton. So:
Since the number is a decimal, you need to round up to make sure every egg is in a carton. So, your answer is 225.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The standard form of an exponential equation is: y = a(b)ˣ where
- a is the initial value
- b is the rate
<u>Growth:</u>
Exponential growth is where the final value (y) is greater than the initial value (a).
An example would be the spreading of a rumor:
You tell 1 person (a = 1) who then tells 2 people each minute (b = 2). How many people will they have spread the rumor to after 5 minutes (x = 5)?
y = 1(2)⁵
= 32
<u>Decay:</u>
Exponential decay is where the final value (y) is less than the initial value (a).
An example would be the decrease of bacteria in a person:
A person has 100 bacteria (a = 1) who takes a pill that is supposed to cut in half the number of bacteria each hour (b = 1/2). How many bacteria will the person have after 2 hours (x = 2)?
