A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually. Jemel writes an exponential function of the form f(x) = ab' to represent the number of birds after x years. Which values should she use for a and b?
a
b =

A = 240(1.16)^x

a= 240

b= 1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:  

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:  

p = original population  

r = growing rate (decimal form)  

t= years  

A = population after t years  

Replacing with the values given:  

A =240(1+ 16/100)^x

A = 240(1.16)^x

If it is in the form: f(x) = ab'

a= 240

b= 1.16

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
