Researchers in a local area found that the population of rabbits with an initial population of 20 grew continuously at the rate of 5% per month the fox population had an initial value of 30 and grew continuously at the rate of 3% per month. find, to the nearest tenth of a month, how long it takes for these populations to be equal

The answer is:

It will take 20.5 months to the populations to be equal.

Since from the statement we know that both populations are growing, we need to use the formula to calculate the exponential growth.

The exponential growth is defined by the following equation:

Now,

Calculating for the rabbits, we have:

So, writing the equation for the rabbits, we have:

Calculating for the fox, we have:

So, writing the equation for the fox, we have:

Then, if we want to calculate how long does it takes for these populations to be equal, we need to make their equations equal, so:

Hence, we have that it will take 20.5 months to the populations to be equal.

you already gave the answer

step-by-step explanation:

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
