The number of butterfly gardens in a region, after x years, can be represented by the function G(x) = 5(1.05)x + 1. The approximate number of butterflies in each of these butterfly gardens, in hundreds, after x years, can be represented by the function B(x) = (1.05)8x. Which function best describes T(x), the total number of butterflies, in hundreds, in the butterfly gardens in this region, after x years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5(1.05)^(9x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

G(x) * B(x)

5(1.05)^(x+1) * (1.05)^8x

rules of exponents: Product Rule: am ∙ an = am + n

so,

5(1.05)^(9x+1)


Answer:

Total No of Butter flies in region is [tex]5(1.05)^{9x+1}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

No of Butterfly gardens in a region after x years , G(x) =  [tex]5(1.05)^{x+1}[/tex]

No of Butterflies in a garden after x years , B(x) =  [tex](1.05)^{8x}[/tex]

Total No of Butter flies in region , T(x) = G(x) × B(x)

T(x) = [tex]5(1.05)^{x+1}\times(1.05)^{8x}[/tex]

      = [tex]5(1.05)^{(x+1)+8x}[/tex]      (using law of exponent: [tex]x^a\times x^b=x^{a+b}[/tex])

      = [tex]5(1.05)^{9x+1}[/tex]

Therefore,  Total No of Butter flies in region is [tex]5(1.05)^{9x+1}[/tex].
