Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The consumption of a vegetable has decreased. While the consumption per capita in 2000 was 25.2 ​pounds, in​ 2010, the consumption dropped to 15.2 pounds.

Consumption in 2000= 25.2 pounds

Consumption in 2010= 15.2 pounds

Difference in consumption=

25.2 - 15.2 = 10.0

Percentage decrease will be difference in consumption divided by original consumption in 2000 multiplied by 100. This will be:

= 10.0/25.2 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^xy=ab x that goes through points (0, 20)(0,20) and (6, 1280)(6,1280).
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

y=20(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write an exponential function that goes through the points (0, 20) and (6, 1280).

The standard exponential function is given by:

y=ab^x

The point (0, 20) tells us that <em>y</em> = 20 when <em>x</em> = 0. Hence:

20=a(b)^0

Simplify:

20=a(1)\Rightarrow a=20

So, our exponential function is now:

y=20(b)^x

Next, the point (6, 1280) tells us that <em>y</em> = 1280 when <em>x</em> = 6. Thus:

1280=20(b)^6

Solve for <em>b</em>. Divide both sides by 20:

64=b^6

Therefore:

b=\sqrt[6]{64}=2

Hence, our function is:

y=20(2)^x

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y + 5x = 1

5y - x = 5

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

y + 5x = 1

  1. Subtract 5x on both sides:                    y = 1 - 5x

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

y = 1 - 5x

5y - x = 5

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitution in <em>y</em>:                      5(1 - 5x) - x = 5
  2. Distribute 5:                             5 - 25x - x = 5
  3. Combine like terms:                5 - 26x = 5
  4. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                          -26x = 0
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                   x = 0

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define equation:                    5y - x = 5
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                       5y - 0 = 5
  3. Subtract:                                 5y = 5
  4. Isolate <em>y</em>:                                 y = 1

Reika [66]

Answer:

111 points

Step-by-step explanation:

First, thing I like to do is to convert word problems into an eqaution or write down the important information.  So, Math = 37 points and now the points are tripled because of where she placed the word.  Also, tripled is implying that her base score for the word is 3 times the original value.

So, 37*3

= 111 points.
