Question 1: Write an equation for the following situation in the form y =
a(b)*
Part A: Rabbit populations have a growth rate of 5 every year. If 10
rabbits are introduced to an island, write an equation for how many
rabbits will be on the island in x years.
Part B: How many rabbits will be on the island in 6 years?

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
