On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapidly increases as the trees blossom. The locust population increases by a factor of 555 every 222222 days, and can be modeled by a function, LLL, which depends on the amount of time, ttt (in days). Before the first day of spring, there were 760076007600 locusts in the population. Write a function that models the locust population ttt days since the first day of spring.

         

Explanation:

Amend the typos for better understanding:

On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapidly increases as the trees blossom. The locust population increases by a factor of 5 every 2 days, and can be modeled by a function, L, which depends on the amount of time, t (in days). Before the first day of spring, there were 7600 locusts in the population. Write a function that models the locust population t days since the first day of spring.

Solution

A function that grows with a constant factor is modeled by an exponential function of the kind:

                                     

Where A is the initial value, B is the constant growing factor, and x is the number of times the growing factor applies.

Since the population increases by a factor of 5 every 2 days, the power x of the exponential function is t/2, and the factor B is 5.

The initial popultaion A is 7600.

Thus, the function that models the locust population t days since the first day of spring is:

             

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
