Sabrina is tracking the growth rates of a colony of ants and of a bee hive. from her research, she has developed a function to represent the population growth of each type of insect, where y represents the population and x represents the number of weeks since sabrina began her research.
which insect population is growing at a faster rate?

a the ant colony is growing at a faster rate. it will multiply by 3.8 each week while the bee hive will add 3.8 each week.
b the bee hive is growing at a faster rate. it will multiply by 3.8 each week while the ant colony will add 3.8 each week.
c the ant colony is growing at a faster rate. it will add 3.8 each week while the bee hive will subtract 3.8 each week.
d the bee hive is growing at a faster rate. it will add 3.8 each week while the ant colony will divide by 3.8 each week.

Can someone explain the elimination method to me for this problem?

The accompanying table shows the numbers of male and female students in a particular country who received bachelor's degrees in business in a recent year. complete parts (a) and (b) below. business degrees nonbusiness degrees total male 189131 634650 823781 female 169539 885329 1054868 total 358670 1519979 1878649 (a) find the probability that a randomly selected student is male, given that the student received a business degree. the probability that a randomly selected student is male, given that the student received a business degree, is nothing. (round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) find the probability that a randomly selected student received a business degree, given that the student is female. the probability that a randomly selected student received a business degree, given that the student is female, is nothing.
