Answer:

f(t) \ = \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ - 0.0043 \frac{1}{week} \ * \ t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponentials functions are of the form:

f(t) \ = \ A \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ t}

where A and b are constants.

Now, the initial value of the exponential function its

f(0) \ = \ A \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ 0}

f(0) \ = \ A \ * \ e ^ { \ 0 \ }

f(0) \ = \ A \

If the initial value must be 70, this must means:

A \ = \ 70

So

f(t) \ = \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ t}

We also know that it must decrease at a rate of 0.43 %, this mean that after one week we got:

100 \ \% - 0.43 \ \%  = 99.57 \ \%

f(1 week) \ = \ 70 \ * 0.9957 \ =  \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ 1 \ week}

This means :

0.9957 \ = \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ 1 \ week}

ln ( 0.9957) \ = \ b \ * \ 1 \ week

\ b \ = \frac{ln ( 0.9957)}{ 1 \ week}

\ b \ = - 0.0043 \frac{1}{week}

So, our equation, finally, its:

f(t) \ = \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ - 0.0043 \frac{1}{week} \ * \ t}

That'd be y = 70* (1-.00043)^t, where the rate of decrease is really 0.43% and t denotes the # of weeks.  

This simplifies to y = 70*(0.00057)^t.

A number decreased by 4 equals -12. What is the number? _____
elena55 [62]

x - 4 = -12

I think x = -8 as if you decrease -8 by 4 it will leave us with the answer of -12

x = -8

Hope this helped,

The goal of a nutritional study was to compare the caloric intake of adolescents living in rural areas of the US with the calori
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

To give more clarity to the question, lets examine the attached back-to-back stem plot.

A)

Having examined the stem plot, we can using quick calculations, summarize that:

The mean (40.45 cal/kg) and median (41 cal/kg) daily caloric intake of ninth-grade students in the rural school is higher than the corresponding measures of center, mean (32.6 cal/kg) and median (32 cal/kg), for ninth-graders in the urban school.

The median and the mean for the students in the 9th grade in the urban school is lower than that of those of their contemporaries in the rural school. The respective medians and means are stated below:

Urban 9th Grade Students

Median = 32 cal/kg

Mean = 36 cal/kg

Rural 9th Grade Students

Median = 41 cal/kg

Mean = 41 cal/kg

Please note that all figures above have been approximated to the nearest whole number.

B)

It is unreasonable to generalize the findings of this study to all rural and urban 9th-grade students in the United States because the sample is too small compared to the target population size.

To allow for generalization, they would have to collect and analyze more samples say from every state within America.

Cheers!
