Rosario is an ecologist who studies the change in the penguin population of Antarctica over time.
The relationship between the elapsed time t, in years, since Rosario started studying the population, and
the number of penguins, P(t), is modeled by the following function:
P(t) = 21,000 (4)
Complete the following sentence about the rate of change in the penguin population.
The population of penguins loses
of its size every
years.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
