You have to input the 5 into the x place. so it would be y=3(5) and you get the answer y=15
The answer is choice D
-----------------------------------------
Explanation:
We can rule out choice B and choice C which are y = 2.4^x and y = 3.5^x respectively. Why can we eliminate these? Because they are growth functions (the bases are larger than 1). The graph shown is a decay function. It goes downhill as you read it from left to right.
The answer is either choice A or choice D
If we plug in x = -2 into the equations for A and D, we get
y = 0.65^x = 0.65^(-2) = 2.36686
y = 0.32^x = 0.32^(-2) = 9.765625
The result for choice D is much closer to what the graph is showing. The graph appears to have the point (-2,11) on the curve. So that's why choice D is the best answer.
Note: the graph is a bit small and its not entirely clear which points are on this graph other than (0,1). So this is a bit of educated guesswork.
3.97, 4 is less than 5 so you round down, and you should round to the nearest hundredths
Answer:
A. t=4n+950
B. h=9.5n
C. d=9.5n-(4n+950)
D. The tortoise will finish first.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the first two equations, we put the rate at which they are traveling in front of the n, and then add where they start. Since the tortoise gets a 950 meter head start, we add 950. The hare is starting at the start line so we don't need to add anything.
For answer c, we need to subtract the two equations from each other to figure out when they would pass each other. d=(equation h)-(equation t).
For the final answer, all you need to do is plug the first two equations into a graph, and then find where each line is at the point of y 1,600. (To make the graphs I replaced the n with x and the t and h with y.) Using this, we are able to see who got there first, which was the tortoise.
