Using a linear function, it is found that the rate of change in this problem situation is of -2 contestants per week.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Considering the situation described, the number of participants after n weeks is given by:

N(n) = 20 - 2n.

The slope is of -2, hence the rate of change in this problem situation is of -2 contestants per week.

Answer:

Study 1 Answers:

1) 0.76 represents the multiplier of the bacteria, in this case it is decreasing by 24% because the formula for exponential decay is 1 - r.

2) 1290 represents the initial value, or before the study began.

Study 2 Answers:

1) 1180 is the initial value, or before the study began.

2) Study 1 started with more bacteria

3) Study 1 is experiencing exponential decay, while study 2 is experiencing exponential growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form y=a(b)^x, where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x represents inputs, such as hours after a bacteria study.

Any multiplier above 1.00 is experiencing exponential growth, meaning it grows gradually over time, and any multiplier below 1.00 is experiencing exponential decay, meaning it decreases in population over time.

The members of the basketball team ordered 5 tuna sandwiches at $3.99 each, 5 fish tacos at $2.75 each, 3 salads at $2.70 each,
Oliga [24]

Firstly, $3.99 × 5 = $19.95

Second, $2.75 × 5 = $13.75

Third, $2.70 × 3 = $8.1 (Since it is just $8.1 that won't make sense so we'd add a 0 so It's $8.10.)

Then we do the last one which is 13 × $0.89 = $11.57.

So now since we are done multiplying we can add it all up.

The answer is $53.37 when we finish adding it up.

and I don't know what A number sentence is sorry :(

I took a long time typing this :< I hope this helps though! :D

The ratio of red poms to yellow poms on a float is 5 to 7. if there are 392 yellow poms on the float, how many red poms are ther
Marysya12 [62]
Ratio is written in x:y. therefore for this case, red:yellow
5 : 7

since the question states that there are 392 yellow poms, the 7 units represents 392 yellow poms. now you have to gind what is one unit and then multiply by 5 to find the number of red poms.

392 represents 7 units
1 unit: 392/7=56
5 units: 5×56=280 red poms

therefore the answer is 280 red poms which is C.
