which of the following situations could be modeled by an exponential function?
A. The water level of a tank decreases by 5 gallons every day.
B. The amount of money collected by a charity increases by $5,000 each year.
C. A tree was 10 feet tall when purchased and grows at a rate of 2 feet per year.
D. The number of people in a stadium is decreasing at a rate of 45% every 10 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is something like:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A = initial amount.

r = rate of growth

x = variable.

This type of function is used to describe situations like "you have A dollars, and it increases by 30% each week"

or:

"There is a population of A animals, and it doubles each year"

Let's analyze briefly all the given options and see which one is an exponential function.

A) The water level of a tank decreases by 5 gallons every day.

This is a linear relation, if W is the initial amount of water, and x is the number of days, then the water level of the tank after x days is:

y = W - 5 gal*x

B) The amount of money collected by a charity increases by $5,000 each year.

The amount collected increases $5000 each year.

Then if in year 1 they collected A.

in year 2 they collected A + $5000

in year 3 they collected A + 2*$5000

We already can see the pattern, this is a linear relation:

in year X they colected A + (X - 1)*$5000

C) A tree was 10 feet tall when purchased and grows at a rate of 2 feet per year.

if y is the height of the tree, and x is the number of years, this can be written as:

y = 10ft + x*2ft

Again, a linear relation.

D) The number of people in a stadium is decreasing at a rate of 45% every 10 minutes.

Let's define x as each "lapse" of 10 minutes that passes.

If N is the initial number of people in te stadium, then after 10 minutes the number of people is = N*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*(1 - 0.45) = N*0.55

After another 10 minutes, the population decreases again.

N*0.55*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*0.55*0.55 = N*0.55^2

We can see the pattern here, this can be written as

People(x) = N*(0.55)^x

This is an exponential function.

What is a scale image?

Scale image is defined as a ratio that represents the relationship between the shape and size of a figure and the corresponding dimensions of the actual figure or object.

a. 16 feet by 16 feet:

The width of the room on the scale drawing will be 16/1.5 = 10.67 inches, and the length will also be 10.67 inches. Since both dimensions are greater than the width and length of the paper, the scale drawing will not fit on one piece of paper.

Answer: No.

b. 10 feet by 15 feet:

The width of the room on the scale drawing will be 10/1.5 = 6.67 inches, and the length will be 15/1.5 = 10 inches. The length dimension of the scale drawing fits on the paper, Therefore, the scale drawing will fit on one piece of paper.

Answer: Yes.

c. 15 feet by 20 feet:

The width of the room on the scale drawing will be 15/1.5 = 10 inches, and the length will be 20/1.5 = 13.33 inches. Both dimensions are greater than the width and length of the paper, so the scale drawing will not fit on one piece of paper.

Answer: Not.

d. 12 feet by 16 feet:

The width of the room on the scale drawing will be 12/1.5 = 8 inches, and the length will be 16/1.5 = 10.67 inches. Both dimensions are less than the width and length of the paper, so the scale drawing will fit on one piece of paper.

A ratio scale contains _____. the properties of order, classification, and equal distance between points but no unique origin the four major sources of error mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive categories as well as the property of order, but not distance or unique origin the properties of classification, order, equal distance, and unique origin mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive categories, but without the properties of order, distance, and origin

Answers

Answer:

the properties of classification, order, equal distance, and unique origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

A level of measurement refers to a classification which is used to illustrate the attributes of the values assigned to variables. Basically, there are four (4) levels of measurement for a variable and these are;

1. Ratio: data can be arranged in an ordering scheme and subtracting its differences is meaningful with respect to the value of true zero. Examples are height, price, weight, distance etc.

2. Nominal: is characterized by data that are non-numerical, comprises of categories, labels or names and can't be arranged in an ordering scheme.

3. Interval: data can be arranged in an ordering scheme and subtracting its differences is meaningful. Examples are year, temperature, time etc.

4. Ordinal: data can be arranged in an ordering scheme but subtracting its differences is meaningless or impossible. Examples are happy, sad etc.

Hence, a ratio scale contains the properties of classification, order, equal distance, and unique origin.

Evaluate the summation from n equals 1 to infinity of the quotient of 3 and 2 raised the quantity n minus 1 power

Answers

Answer:

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the summation from n = 1 to n = ∞, for:

∑ 3/(2)^(n - 1)

We know that the summation between k = 0, and k = N - 1 for:

∑ r^k = (1 - r^N)/(1 - r)

if we have the summation between k = 0 and k = ∞ - 1 = ∞

(here we used that ∞ is really big, then ∞ - 1 = ∞)

In the numerator we will have the term r^∞, if 0 < r < 1, then r^∞ = 0.

Then if we assume that 0 < r < 1 we can write:

∑ r^k =  1/(1 - r)

In our case, we can rewrite our summation as:

3*∑ (1/2)^n

for n = 0 to  n = ∞

You can see that i changed the limits for n, this does not really matter because we are summing between a number and infinity, the only thing you need to take care is that now the power is n, instead of (n - 1)

Then we have r = (1/2) which is clearly smaller than 1.

then (1/2)

Then this summation is equal to:

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 3*( 1/(1 - 1/2)) = 3*( 1/( 2/2 - 1/2)) = 3*( 1/(1/2)) = 3*2 = 6

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at 6:00 a.m., Lin spent a day hiking through a canyon. This graph shows her elevation (in meters) at some different times. Negative values of x represent times earlier than noon, and positive values of x represent times later than noon.
Please help me with this

Answers

Answer:

First, we know that the 0 in the horizontal axis corresponds to the noon.

Then:

a) Lin's elevation at noon in meters.

We need to see the elevation when x = 0.

This is the point that is just on top of the y-axis, we can see that when x = 0, we have y = 6.

Then at noon, her altitude was 6 meters.

b) At 8:00 am, her elevation was 2m

Remember that the x-component represents time, and x = 0 represents the noon.

8:00 am is 4 hours before noon, then 8:00am is represented with x = -4

and at this time her elevation is 2m, then y = 2.

This means that the point that represents this is (-4, 2)

c) At 4:00 pm Lin was at sea level (her elevation was 0m)

Same reasoning than before: x = 0 is the noon, then 4:00 pm is four hours after this, then 4:00 pm is represented with x = 4.

And here her altitude is 0m, then y = 0.

This point is written as (4, 0)

d) Here we can see that at 6:00 am her elevation was negative, and at 4:00pm her elevation is 0.

And we know that:

0 > negative numbers.

Then her altitude increased in this interval of time.

Answer:

Its 0

Answers

Answer:

y = 7x - 603

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by determining the slope:

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = 111 - 97/102 - 100 = 14/2 = 7,

Now we substitute the slope into the slope-intercept equation y  = mx + b, solving for the y-intercept [b]:

111 = 7(102) + b,

b = -603

Since all the angles in any give triangle adds up to 180, we can make an equation from this geometry question. x+5+7x-5+x=180 (Adding all the angles). If you simplify this, it becomes 9x=180, or x=20.

River Otters Drinks about 5 times as much as water as a bald eagle drink in a day

So we know that the bald eagle drinks 0.16 per day. (I am not sure liters, gallons, etc because it is not stated in the question.) Now, the question tells us that River Otters drink about 5 times MORE then the bald eagle. So first we need to multiply.  

0.16 × 5 = 0.8

So river otters drink about 0.8 per day.

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the number cube is a six-faced die, you have

1 2 3 4 5 6

three odd numbers, and three even numbers. Therefore, the chance of it landing on an odd number or even number is 3/6, which equals 1/2. That means you have a 50% chance to get an odd number, or an even number.

So, you have two die. Both have a 50/50 chance of getting an even or odd number. So what's the chance of one landing on an odd number, and the other landing on an even number?

You would have a 25% chance for an even and then an even numberYou would have a 25% chance for an odd and then an odd numberYou would have a 25% chance for an even and then an odd numberYou would have a 25% chance for an odd and then an even number.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test

The MAD is greater for this year’s 100-meter dash, which suggests that all 30 students did not improve equally.

What is Mean?

The sum of all values divided by the total number of values determines the mean (also known as the arithmetic mean, which differs from the geometric mean) of a dataset. The term "average" is frequently used to describe this measure of central tendency.

The given table is:

                  Mean     MAD

Last Year    16.2 s     1.2

This Year    14.7 s      1.9

Looking at this table we can see that this year, the meantime is smaller than the one from last year, so the runners are faster on average.

The mean absolute deviation is bigger, but the change in the mean is bigger.

difference of the mean   16.2 - 14.7 = 1.5

difference of the MAD  1.9 - 1.2 = 0.7

This means that the average speed of the runners increased since last year,

and the fact that the MAD increased means that not all the runners increased their speed at the same rate, so now the speeds of the different runners are not as alike as last year.
