Answer:

Carlita is at least 2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Carlita's age

3[(1/2)x + 3] ≥ 12 Divide both sides by 3.

(1/2)x + 3 ≥ 4

(1/2)x ≥ 1

x ≥ 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{3 spools}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{1 spool =25 yd}\\\text{Spools needed } = \text{58 yd} \times \dfrac{\text{1 spool}}{\text{25 yd}} = \text{2.32 spools}\\\\\text{However, Shannon can't buy part of a spool. She must $\textbf{round up}$ to the next integer.}\\\text{Shannon must buy $\boxed{\textbf{3 spools}}$ of ribbon}$

Answer: E. The population decreased by 11% each year.

Step-by-step explanation: In A, the pollution increases at a constant rate, but in a linear way, in other words in each day, the pollution increases 10 grams; The same goes for C: ice "grows" a few milimeters each day; In D, as volume is calculated by the multiplication of π and its radius, the increase in the volume is still linear. In B, the proportionality is related to the power of the turbine not the growth or decay of it. In E, a population grows or decreases in a form of A=A₀(1±r)^t. In this case: A = A₀ (1-0.11)^t.

In conclusion, the function that better describes an exponential growth or decay is the decrease of a population.
