The population of blue whales is dying at a rate of 2% each year Which one is the right answer 1. Exponential Growth
2. Exponential decay

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

​    

=240

=48

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

yes.. it's proven to be 36.

soo this can be solve by using the formula:

f = p( 1 + i)^ n

where f is the future profit

p is the initial profit

i is the percent increase

n is the number of years

a . f = 30000 ( 1.05)^n

b. f = 30000 ( 1.05)^15

f = $62,368
