What is the approximate solution of this system of equations?

Consider this function for cell duplication where the cells duplicate every minute.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

A) The 75 is the initial number of cells, and the 2 indicates that the number of cells doubles every minute

Step-by-step explanation:

When x=0 (no minutes have elapsed), the value of the function is ...

f(0) = 75(2^0) = 75(1) = 75 . . . . the initial number of cells

As x increases by 1 (minute), the number of cells is multiplied by 2, so the 2 is the multiplier each minute. It indicates the number doubles. ("double" = "multiply by 2")

x is not defined, but for the function to make any sense, it must represent elapsed minutes.

The table represents an exponential function. A 2-column table has 4 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 1, 2, 3, 4

scoray [572]

Answer:

The multiplicative rate of change of the function is $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the table

$\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\ \\1&6\\2&4\\ \\3&\dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\4&\dfrac{16}{9}\end{array}$

An exponential function can be written as

$y=a\cdot b^x,$

where b is the multiplicative rate of change of the function.

Find a and b. Substitute first two corresponding values of x and y into the function expression:

$6=a\cdot b^1\\ \\4=a\cdot b^2$

Divide the second equality by the first equality:

$\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{a\cdot b^2}{a\cdot b^1}\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Substitute it into the first equality:

$6=a\cdot \dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6\cdot 3}{2}=9$

So, the function expression is

$y=9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^x$

Check whether remaining two values of x and y suit this expression:

$9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^3=9\cdot \dfrac{8}{27}=\dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^4=9\cdot \dfrac{16}{81}=\dfrac{16}{9}$

So, the multiplicative rate of change of the function is $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line 6y - 5x = -6?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

6y - 5x = - 6

6y = 5x - 6

If the num beside the x is not 5, then it's not a parallel line

2 sin^2 (x) -5 sin (x) -3=0

andreyandreev [35.5K]

we have that

$2sin^{2} x-5sin x-3=0$

I. Rewrite the equation by substituting the expression u in for sin x.

$2u^{2} -5u-3=0$

II. Factor the quadratic expression. Rewrite the equation with factors instead of the original polynomial.

$2u^{2} -5u-3=0$ is equal to

using a graph calculator-----> see the attached figure

$(u-3)*(2u+1)=0$

III. Use the zero product property to solve the quadratic equation.

$(u-3)*(2u+1)=0$

(u-3)=0--------------> u=3

(2u+1)=0-------- 2u=-1------> u=-1/2-----> u=-0.5

IV. Rewrite your solutions to Part III by replacing u with sin x.

sin x=3--------> is not the solution (sin x can not be greater than 1)

sin x=-0.50------>is the solution

V. Solve the remaining equations for x, giving all solutions to the equation.

sin x=-0.50

if the sine is negative

then

x belong to the III or IV quadrant

we know that

sin 30°=0.50

so

the solution for the III quadrant is

x=180°+30°-------> x=210°

the solution for the IV quadrant is

x=360°-30°------> x=330°
