Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x, then

<u>Initial amount per student was:</u>

  • 100/x

<u>After it becomes:</u>

  • 100/(x - 5)

<u>Since amount increased after, it can be shown as:</u>

  • 100/x + 1 = 100/(x - 5)

<u>Multiply each term by x(x - 5) to get rid of the fraction:</u>

  • 100(x-5) + x(x - 5) = 100x
  • 100x - 500 + x² - 5x - 100x = 0
  • x² - 5x - 500 = 0

<u>Positive solution of this quadratic equation is </u>

  • x = 25

<u>Amount each person paid after:</u>

  • $100 / (25 - 5) = $5

Write a rule for the following functions. I need help fast!
marishachu [46]

Answer:

  20.  y = 3·3^x

  21.  y = (1/3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

These exponential functions can be written in the form ...

  y = a·b^x

where a is the value of y when x=0, and b is the common ratio between terms that have x different by 1.

__

20. The ratio is 9/3 = 3; the multiplier is 3 (the value of y when x=0), so the function is ...

  y = 3·3^x

__

21. The ratio is (1/3)/1 = 1/3; the multiplier is 1, so the function is ...

  y = (1/3)^x

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Each of these can be written in a more compact form:

  20: y = 3^(x+1)

  21: y = 3^(-x)
