Question

System of equations?

Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 can you help me?

Answer 2

because x is in the exponent on the left side and not in the exponent on the right side, you have to use a graphing calculator (or a computer) to find the approximate solution

Answer 3

x represents the number of days, so it's not possible to have a negative number of days

that's why \[\Large x \ge 0\] is your restriction. This forces x to be either 0 or positive.

Answer 4

that is correct

Answer 5

and see where they intersect

Answer 6

correct

Answer 7

graph each on the same set of xy axis

Answer 8

I'm getting the same thing

Answer 9

it looks it, then on day 1, it can eat the entire population again

at first, the population is 1 fly, then the next day is 3 flies

Answer 10

I think that IF the iguana ate the one fly, then the population wouldn't be able to continue. Then again, you need at least 2 flies to reproduce to increase the size of the population, but this is just a hypothetical problem.
