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

= 1.99995 × 109

(scientific notation)

= 1.99995e9

(scientific e notation)

= 1.99995 × 109

(billion; prefix giga- (G))

= 1999950000

(real number)
