Answer:

A. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply something by 0.75, you're multiplying it by 75%, and that means you're losing 25% each time, so the rate of decay is 25%

Answer:

A 25%

Step-by-step explanation

the first thing we want to do for this problem is look at the exponential decay formula. its y=a(1-b)^x. "y" represents the final amount, "a" represents the original amount, and "b" represents the decay factor.

in this situation, .75 is the decay factor and our original amount is 1000. so to find out the decay factor, we need to subtract .75 from 1. you would get .25. .25 in percentage form is 25%.

we can double check by putting .25 in the orginal exponential decay formula. y=1000(1-.25)^x. 1-.25 equals .75, so now the equation is the same as our original equation, y=1000(0.75)^x

What is the distance between the points (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The distance between the given points (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate  plane is 10units

Therefore distance s=10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate plane

To distance between the given points :

The distance formula is s=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} units

Let (x_1,y_1) ,(x_2,y_2) be the given points (2,10) and (-6, 4) respectively

Now substituting the values in the distance formula  we get

s=\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(4-10)^2}

=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}

=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}

=\sqrt{64+36}

=\sqrt{100}

=10

Therefore s=10 units

The distance between the given points (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate plane is 10units
