f(x)=2,459(0.92)^t

Using the information given above, complete the following statements. The percent change is %. The percent change represents .

f(x)=2,459(0.92)^t

Given equation is an exponential function and in the form of f(x) = a(1-r)^x

Where 'a' is the initial population

'r' is the decay rate

'x' is the time

f(x) = a(1-r)^x

Given function is f(x)=2,459(0.92)^t

1 - r = 0.92

r = 1 - 0.92

r = 0.08

r= 0.08 %

Percentage change = 0.08%

Percentage change represents the decay rate.

Answer:

8%, the rate at which the population is decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the equation <em>f(x)</em>=2,459(0.92)^t

0.92 represents the rate of change.

Because 0.92 is less than 1, it represents a decrease.

To calculate the rate of decay, subtract 0.92 from 1 (1 - 0.92 = 0.08)

To convert the rate of decay to percent, move the decimal to the right two spaces.

The answer is 8%, which represents the rate at which the population is decreasing.

What is the value of g(f(-5))?
fredd [130]

Replace x in the equation for f(x) with -5:

|2x +9| = |2(-5) +9| = |-10 +9| = |-1| = 1

Now find x 1 and see where the graph of G(x) crosses the Y :

It crosses ay Y = 5

The answer is A. 5
