Apopulation of flies grows according to the function p(x) = 5(2)x, where x is measured in weeks. a local spider has set up shop and consumes flies according to the function s(x) = 3x + 2. what is the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider?

x = 3 weeks

Growth: 5(2)(3) = 30 flies in 3 weeks

eaten: 3(3) +2 = 9+2 =11 flies eaten in 3 weeks

30-11 = 19 flies ( population after 3 weeks)

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
