Answer:
-3/5 as a decimal iss -0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step answer:
The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in
f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x
The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely
f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)
Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x
we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get
f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x
f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037
Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function
f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)
1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.
Find distance between R and S and then between S and T and add them together
The total number of beads that Lexi could accommodate based
on the on hand items is 101 beads. Subtract the number of beads she needs which
is 144 beads with 101 beads. The amount of beads that would need a box is 43
beads. Since a medium box could only accommodate 10 beads at a time, divide 43
with 10 and the answer would be 4 remainder 3. Thus Lexi would only need 4
medium boxes.
