Question
a) What is the decay factor?
b) What is the percent decrease?
c) Estimate the number of black and white TV's sold in 1999.
Answer:
a. Decay factor = 0.85
b. Percent decrease = 15%
c. 19.363 million TVs were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): The decay factor
An exponential function has the form
Where b is:
By comparison:
Solving (b): Percentage decrease:
Percentage decrease P is calculated as follows:
Substitute 0.85 for b
Convert to percentage
Solving (c): TVs sold in 1999
First, we need to determine the value of t for 1999
In 1997, t= 0
In 1998, t= 1
In 1999, t= 2
So, we substitute 2 for t in:
Answer:
5(3x + 5) or 15x + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular pentagon has 5 sides of equal length. The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of those sides. We can use multiplication to find the sum of 5 of the same value:
P = 5(3x +5)
Perhaps you want it expanded. Using the distributive property, we multiply each term in parentheses by 5:
P = 15x + 25
The volume of a rectangular prism is simply the product of the length, the width, and the height. This is from the general formula for the volume of a prism which is the product of the area of the base and the height. If you know the measurements of the length, width, and height, you can easily calculate the volume.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To convert decimal number as a percent, multiply the number by 100 (just move the decimal point two places to the right)
we have
Convert as a percent
Multiply by 100
