An element is decaying according to the model given by y (x) = (1/3)^x + 7 where x is measured in days and y(x) is measured in g

rams. Explain the correct meaning of the 7 in this situation.
Your answer:
A. Initially, seven grams of the element were present at x = days.

B.The element is decaying at a rate of 7 grams/day.

C. After 7 days, there is 1/3 of the element remaining in grams

D. As the days continue to increase, the amount of element left approaches 7 grams.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

as the days continue to increase,the amount of element approaches 7 grams because 1/3<1

so (1/3)^∞→0

4. Find the standard from of the equation of a hyperbola whose foci are (-1,2), (5,2) and its vertices are end points of the dia
Ad libitum [116K]

The <em>standard</em> form of the equation of the hyperbola that satisfies all conditions is (x - 2)²/4 - (y - 2)²/5 = 1 .

<h3>How to find the standard equation of a hyperbola</h3>

In this problem we must determine the equation of the hyperbola in its <em>standard</em> form from the coordinates of the foci and a <em>general</em> equation of a circle. Based on the location of the foci, we see that the axis of symmetry of the hyperbola is parallel to the x-axis. Besides, the center of the hyperbola is the midpoint of the line segment with the foci as endpoints:

(h, k) = 0.5 · (- 1, 2) + 0.5 · (5, 2)

(h, k) = (2, 2)

To determine whether it is possible that the vertices are endpoints of the diameter of the circle, we proceed to modify the <em>general</em> equation of the circle into its <em>standard</em> form.

If the vertices of the hyperbola are endpoints of the diameter of the circle, then the center of the circle must be the midpoint of the line segment. By algebra we find that:

x² + y² - 4 · x - 4 · y + 4= 0​

(x² - 4 · x + 4) + (y² - 4 · y + 4) = 4

(x - 2)² + (y - 2)² = 2²

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the line segment. Now we proceed to determine the vertices of the hyperbola:

V₁(x, y) = (0, 2), V₂(x, y) = (4, 2)

And the distance from the center to any of the vertices is 2 (<em>semi-major</em> distance, a) and the semi-minor distance is:

b = √(c² - a²)

b = √(3² - 2²)

b = √5

Therefore, the <em>standard</em> form of the equation of the hyperbola that satisfies all conditions is (x - 2)²/4 - (y - 2)²/5 = 1 .

A printing company sells small packages of personalized stationery for $7 each, medium
Ahat [919]

Step-by-step explanation:

what's the question ? it does not say.

I assume it is "how many packages of what size were sold ?"

x = number of small packages

y = number of medium packages sold

z = number of large packages sold

x + y + z = 9

7x + 12y + 15z = 86

y = 3z

these are the 3 equations we get out of the question.

we put the third equation into the other two :

x + 3z + z = x + 4z = 9

7x + 12×3z + 15z = 7x + 36z + 15z = 7x + 51z = 86

it of this first equation we get

x = -4z + 9

and putting that into the other equation :

7×(-4z + 9) + 51z = 86

-28z + 63 + 51z = 86

23z = 23

z = 1

y = 3z = 3×1 = 3

x = -4z + 9 = -4×1 + 9 = -4 + 9 = 5

so, 5 small, 3 medium and 1 large packages were sold.
