A squirrel jumps along the number line. Each of its jumps is 5 units long. The squirrel sometimes jumps to the right and sometimes to the left. It starts at point 6. Can it land at this point? (The point is 101)

9514 1404 393

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For some integer n, the squirrel lands on numbers that are ...

  5n +6

We want to see if n is an integer when ...

  5n +6 = 101

  5n = 95

  n = 19 . . . . yes, an integral number of jumps will get the squirrel to 101

the above table 1 will calculate the population size (n) after a certain length of time (t). all you need to do is plug in the initial population number (no), the growth rate (r) and the length of time (t). the constant (e) is already entered into the equation. it stands for the base of the natural logarithms (approximately 2.71828). growth rate (r) and time (t) must be expressed in the same unit of time, such as years, days, hours or minutes. for humans, population growth rate is based on one year. if a population of people grew from 1000 to 1040 in one year, then the percent increase or annual growth rate is 40/1000 x 100 = 4 percent.
