On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these
flowers rapidly increases as the trees blossom.
The relationship between the elapsed time, t, in weeks, since the beginning of spring, and the total number of locusts,
N(t), is modeled by the following function:
N(t) = 300 - 9
Complete the following sentence about the rate of change in the locust population.
Round your answer to two decimal places.
The number of locusts is tripled every
weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function with base b is defined by ƒ(x) = a(b)ˣ.

If b > 1, we have exponential growth.

The formula for your function is garbled, so I shall assume it is

N(t) = 300(1.47)^{t/9}

If the initial population is 300, the new population is 3 × 300.

your answer is 23/2 - 13.5

step-by-step explanation:

7/2 evaluates to

multiply x and 4.5

multiply x and 1

the x just gets copied along.

the answer is x

x

4.5*x evaluates to 4.5x

multiply 3 and 4.5x

multiply 1 and x

the x just gets copied along.

x

4.5*x*3 evaluates to 13.5x

7/2-4.5*x*3 evaluates to

  + 8 =

the answer is

7/2-4.5*x*3+8 evaluates to

the correct answer is c
