Question

HELP! A population of flies grows according to the function p(x) = 3(2)x, where x is measured in weeks. A local spider has set up shop and consumes flies according to the function s(x) = 2x + 4. What is the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider?

Answer 1

10 flies

12 flies

14 flies

24 flies

Answer 2

First, would you mind re-writing your function p(x), as there's some ambiguity in 3(2)x. Use the Draw utility, below, or the equation Editor (below).
