The estimated number of organisms in a population after t days is shown in the table below. t days estimated number of organisms, n 2 860 4 1,250 6 1,800 8 2,600 10 3,720 which equation best models the situation?

The function best models the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The values in the table do not lie over a straight line because their slope is not a constant; for example

we see here that therefore a linear equation cannot represent this situation.

The values in the table are increasing exponentially , therefore the equation modeling the situation will be of the form:

we take two points from the table for evaluating and namely points and

thus we have

(1).

(2).

From equation (1) we solve for

and put this value into equation (2)

with this value , we solve for in equation (1):

Thus we have the equation

i think the answer is .36

step-by-step explanation:

what i did was only 2.88 divided by 8

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
