Answer:

70 , 84 , 105

Step-by-step explanation:

sum their ages , 10 + 12 + 15 = 37

divide the amount by this sum to find the value of one part of the ratio.

259 ÷ 37 = 7 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

10 parts = 10 × 7 = 70 euros ← Tom's share

12 parts = 12 × 7 = 84 euros ← Mary's share

15 parts = 15 × 7 = 105 euros ← Bill's share

The population of bacteria can be modeled by the function below, where t represents the time since the population started decayi

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I will assume the function is:

$f(t) = 15(0.86)^t$

Required

Determine the rate of decay

In an exponential function $f(x) = ab^x$ ,

The decay rate of the function is calculated as:

$1 - r = b$

By comparison:

$b = 0.86$

So, the equation becomes:

$1 - r = 0.86$

Make r the subject

$r = 1 - 0.86$

$r = 0.14$

<em>The rate of decay is 0.14</em>

Subtract the given function and indicate the domain of the difference

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The domain is $x\in (-\infty,\infty).$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions $f(x)=x^2+3x+1$ and $g(x)=2x^2-4x-1$

Subtract these two functions:

$f(x)-g(x)\\ \\=(x^2+3x+1)-(2x^2-4x-1)\\ \\=x^2+3x+1-2x^2+4x+1\\ \\=(x^2-2x^2)+(3x+4x)+(1+1)\\ \\=-x^2+7x+2$

Plot these difference on the coordinate plane (see attached diagram). This function is defined for all vlues of x, so the domain is $x\in (-\infty,\infty).$

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation below?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Option B: $\ln 6=5 x$ is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The exponential equation is $e^{5 x}=6$

If $f(x)=g(x)$ , then $\ln (f(x))=\ln (g(x))$

Thus, the equation becomes

$\ln \left(e^{5 x}\right)=\ln (6)$

Applying log rule, $\log _{a}\left(x^{b}\right)=b \cdot \log _{a}(x)$ and thus the equation becomes

$5 x \ln (e)=\ln (6)$

Since, we know that, $\ln (e)=1$ , using this we get,

$5 x=\ln (6)$

Hence, the logarithmic equation which is equivalent to the exponential equation $e^{5 x}=6$ is $\ln 6=5 x$

Thus, Option B is the correct answer.
