1. Mary noticed 5 ants in her pantry on Monday. On Tuesday she counted 15 ants in the pantry. On Wednesday she counted 45 ants in the pantry, Day Ants

Monday 0 5

Tuesday 1 15

Wednesday 2 45

Part A Determine an exponential function model (y=ab) to represent the number of ants in the pantry in terms of the number of elapsed days. Explain how you arrived at your model.

Part B Does the problem situation represent exponential growth or decay? Justify your reasoning.​

so what is really the answer?

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer will be b x² +x-1
