The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:

y=y_0e^{kx}

if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.

Now we need to classify each of the functions:

1.

The function

y=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{e})^{-2x}

can be wrtten as:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{4}(e^{-1})^{-2x}^{} \\ =\frac{1}{4}e^{2x} \end{gathered}

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.

2.

The function

y=(\frac{1}{e})^{4x}

can be written as:

\begin{gathered} y=(\frac{1}{e})^{4x} \\ y=(e^{-1})^{4x} \\ y=e^{-4x} \end{gathered}

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.

3.

The function

y=2e^{-x}+1

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.

A cyclist estimates that he will bike 80 miles this week. He actually bikes 75.5 miles. What is the percent error of the cyclist
maw [93]

Answer:

<em>The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.

The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:

Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles

To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:

Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

ABC is formed by two tangents intersecting outside of a circle. If minor arc AC = 98°, what is the measure of ∠ABC?
gregori [183]
It's 82 degrees. Subtract your minor arc (98) by 360 to get your major arc, which is 262. Then, subtract 98 (minor arc) from 262 (major arc), which gives you 164. Finally, divide 164 by 2 to get angle ABC.
