Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease.

y=57(0.4)^x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Decay, 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the exponential function is written in the form [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]. In this problem, a=57 and b=0.4. A function is considered a growth function when [tex]b>1[/tex]. Since 0.4 not greater than 1, this is an exponential decay function.

Now, to find the rate of decrease we can use part of the form [tex]y=a(1-r)^x[/tex].

[tex]1-r[/tex] represents the percentage decrease, in this case, 0.4. If that entire term is 0.4, we need to solve for [tex]r[/tex].

[tex]1-r=0.4\\r=0.6[/tex]

So, the rate of percentage decrease is 60%.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x=4

and

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

let -2x+y=-4 ...1

y=1/2x+2 ...2

putting equation 2 in equation 1 we get,

-2x+(1/2x+2)=-4

opening the brackets we get,

-2x+1/2x+2=-4

(-4x+x)/2=-4-2

-3x/2=-6

-3x=-6×2

-3x=-12

x=-12/-3

x=4

putting value of x in equation 2

y=1/2(4)+2

y=2+2

y=4

hence, x=4 and y=4

On a coordinate plane, a line segment has P(6,2) and Q(3,8).

Point M lies on PQ and divides the segment so that the ratio

A. (4.5, 5.0)

B. (5.6, 4.2)

C. (4.8, 4.4)

D. (4.2, 5.6)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]M(x,y) = (4.8,4.4)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(x_1,y_1) = (6,2)[/tex]

[tex]Q(x_2,y_2) = (3,8)[/tex]

[tex]m:n = PM:MQ = 3 : 2[/tex]

Required

Determine the coordinates of M

To solve this, we make use of the following partition formula:

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{nx_2+mx_1}{n+m},\frac{ny_2+my_1}{n+m})[/tex]

Substitute values for m, n, x's and y's

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{2*3+3*6}{2+3},\frac{2*8+3*2}{2+3})[/tex]

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{24}{5},\frac{22}{5})[/tex]

[tex]M(x,y) = (4.8,4.4)[/tex]

(Assume that "during the first week of harvesting" here means week 1. How many bushels of strawberries will yield the maximum value? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
bushels
2. What is the maximum value of the strawberries? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
$

Answers

Answer:

a.)

Number of bushes = b = 129 + 4(7) = 129 + 28 = 157 bushes

b.)

Revenue = bx = (157)(31.4) = $ 4929.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of bushes = b

The price of the bushes = x

The time to harvest = t

The revenue = y

Now given,

Price = x = 37 - (0.8)t

and

Number of bushes = b = 129 + 4t

Also,

The revenue = (Number of bushes)(Price of the bushes)

                     = bx

                     = (129 + 4t)[37 - (0.8)t]

                     = 129×37 - 129× (0.8)t + 4×37t - 4×0.8t²

                     = 4773 - 103.2t + 148t - 3.2t²

                     = 4773 + 44.8t - 3.2t²

⇒ y = 4773 + 44.8t - 3.2t²

Now,

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = 0 + 44.8 - 6.4t

Now,

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = 0

⇒ 44.8 - 6.4t = 0

⇒ - 6.4t = -44.8

⇒ 6.4t = 44.8

⇒t = [tex]\frac{44.8}{6.4} = 7[/tex]

Now,

[tex]\frac{d^{2}y }{dt^{2} }[/tex] = -6.4

As [tex]\frac{d^{2}y }{dt^{2} }[/tex]  < 0 ,

It means at time t = 7 , the revenue is maximum

a.)

Number of bushes = b = 129 + 4(7) = 129 + 28 = 157 bushes

Price = x = 37 - (0.8)(7) = 37 - 5.6 = 31.4

b.)

Revenue = bx = (157)(31.4) = 4929.8

- 12 = 6i- 6

Answers

Answer: i = -1

Explanation:
First get the variable by itself. To do that, add six to both sides of the equation. You will have -6 = 6i. Than divide both sides by 6. It will give you i = -1.
-12 = 6i - 6
-12 + 6 = 6i - 6 + 6
-12 + 6 = 6i
(-12 + 6)/6 = (6i)/6
(-12 + 6)/6 = i

i = (-12 + 6)/6

f(x)=x-7 and g(x)=2x-3
find f(g(4))

Answers

Answer:

f(g(4)) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find g(4) by plugging in 4 as x into the function:

g(x) = 2x - 3

g(4) = 2(4) - 3

g(4) = 8 - 3

g(4) = 5

f(g(4)) can be found by finding f(5), since g(4) = 5

Find f(5) by plugging in 5 into the function:

f(x)= x - 7

f(5) = 5 - 7

f(5) = -2

So, f(g(4)) = -2

Answers

The least number of socks that you have to take out of the drawer to be certain that you have a pair of the same color is 5 and the color is black.

Given that,

There are 18 black socks and 12 Navy socks in your drawer the room is dark and you cannot turn on the light.

We have to determine

What is the least number of socks that you have to take out of  your drawer to be certain that you have a pair of black socks?

According to the question,

The following steps can be used in order to determine the least number of socks that you have to take out of the drawer:

The total number of blue socks is 18,

And the total number of navy socks is 12.

The probability that the socks come out is black socks is,

[tex]\rm P_b = \dfrac{18}{18+12}\\\\P_b= \dfrac{18}{30}\\\\P_b = \dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

And the probability that the socks come out is navy socks is,

[tex]\rm P_n = \dfrac{12}{18+12}\\\\P_n= \dfrac{12}{30}\\\\P_n = \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

On comparing both the probability,

[tex]\rm P_b>P_n[/tex]

Hence, The least number of socks that you have to take out of the drawer to be certain that you have a pair of the same color is 5 and the color is black.

Answers

Answer:

2 servings of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby and 3 servings of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Gerber Product's Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby contains, in each serving, 60 calories and 11 grams of carbohydrates, while Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert contains, in each serving, 80 calories and 21 grams of carbohydrates, and you want to provide your child with 340 calories and 75 grams of carbohydrates, in order to how many servings of each you should use, the following calculation has to be made:

(80 x 5) + (60 x 0) --- (21 x 5) + (11 x 0) = 400 --- 105

(80 x 4) + (60 x 1) --- (21 x 4) + (11 x 1) = 380 --- 95

(80 x 3) + (60 x 2) --- (21 x 3) + (11 x 2) = 360 --- 85

(80 x 2) + (60 x 3) --- (21 x 2) + (11 x 3) = 340 --- 75

Therefore, 2 servings of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby and 3 servings of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert should be used.

Ralph Chase plans to sell a piece of property for ​$150000. He wants the money to be paid off in two ways a - ​short-term note at ​11% interest and a​ long-term note at 8​% interest. Find the amount of each note if the total annual interest paid is ​$15200
.

Answers

Answer:

Amount on 11% note = $106,666.67

Amount on 8% note = $43,333.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount for the ​short-term note at ​11% interest be x.

Thus, the amount for the ​short-term note at ​8% interest will be (150000 - x)

Now we are told that the total interest paid is $15,200.

Thus;

0.11x + 0.08(150000 - x) = 15200

0.11x + 12000 - 0.08x = 15200

Rearranging gives;

0.03x = 15200 - 12000

0.03x = 3200

x = 3200/0.03

x = $106666.67

Thus, amount for 8% note = $150000 - $106666.67 = $43,333.33
