The number of fruit flies in a jar triples every week. The function f(x) = 5(3)* models the insect population after x weeks. To the nearest whole number, what will the
population be after 4 weeks?

TBH I'm not 100 percent sure but I think the answer is 7. Really sorry if that is wrong, like I said not 100 percent sure!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that f(x) is equal to 5(3). Which means 5 insects in 3 weeks. If you divide you would get 1.666... You would need to divide because you first need to know how many insects in 1 week to be able to find 4 weeks. And then you would multiply by 4 because you are trying to find how many insects in 4 weeks. When you multiply you get an answer of 6.66666... Which rounds up to 7 as a whole number.

Again, really, really, really, really, really sorry if that is the wrong answer

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
