Question

HELP ASAP

A biologist is comparing the growth of a population of flies per week to the number of flies a bullfrog will consume per week. She has devised an equation to solve for which day (x) the bullfrog would be able to eat the entire population. The equation is 2x = 3x - 1. However, she has observed that the bullfrog cannot eat more than seven flies in one week.

Explain to the biologist how she can solve this on a graph using a system of equations. Identify any possible constraints to the situation.

Answer 1

@UnkleRhaukus @ganeshie8 @mathslover

Answer 2

@ganeshie8 PLease help :(

Answer 3

any other info given ?

Answer 4

NO this is it @ganeshie8

Answer 5

could u take screenshot of original question and attach if possbile ?
im finding it difficult to interpret the question :/

Answer 6

@ganeshie8 Thankyou!

Answer 7

she can solve this system by graphing below two equations :

\(y = 2^x\)
\(y = 3x-1\)

the intersection points(s) of these two graphs gives you the solutions for the system

Answer 8

so the point of intersection 1,2

Answer 9

look at the graphs,
clearly there are two points of intersections

Answer 10

okay thankyou would that be the full answer? and could you also help me with some other questions?

Answer 11

thats half of the answer

Answer 12

the question also asks u to tell about restrictions on the situation

Answer 13

And that would be that bullfrogs can only eat 7 flies?

Answer 14

the constraints are :
since "x" represents number of days, x must be a positive integer. and the y being the number of flies, y also need to be a positive integer

Answer 15

^^that should be sufficient for this problem i hope

Answer 16

Okay got it Thank you! Can you help with another?
