A biologist is studying the elk population in a county park. She starts with only 2 elk and observes that the number of elk triples every year. Which equation can be used to find the number of years, y, it will take for the population to reach 1,458 elk?

The expression that represents the population of elk is: . It'll take 6 years for the population to reach 1,458 individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of elks triples every year and starts at , then after the first year the population will be:

While on the second year, it'll be:

On the third year:

And so on, therefore the expression that describes the population of elk as the years passes is:

If we want to know the number of years until the population reach 1,458 elk, we need to apply this value to the left side of the equation and solve for t.

The population will reach 1,458 elk in 6 years.

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

because if you put 1 in to the square root of x it equals 300.

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
