Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general exponential function is defined as

f(x)=ab^x

Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

→ If b>1, then it is a growth function and if b<1, then it is a decay function.

The function is always decreasing and has a y-intercept of 20. It means the initial value of function is 20.

Since the function is decreasing, therefore the value of growth factor must be less than 1.

In option A and C the initial value is 20, therefore options A and C are incorrect.

In option B,

y=20(1.75)^x

Growth factor is 1.75>1, therefore option B is incorrect.

In option D,

y=20(0.75)^x

Growth factor is 0.75<1, therefore option D is correct.

<span>D. y = 20(0.75)^x,
for function to be decreasing value under exponent should be less than 1,
y(int) can be found when x=0
</span>y = 20(0.75)^0=20*1=20

Yesterday annie walked 9tenth mile to her friends house they walk 1/3 mile to the library which is the best estimate for how far
aleksklad [387]
This could be an adding fractions problem. We can add the two fractions together and then determine how many miles she walked.

 9       1
--- + ----
10     3

First, we need to find a common denominator. It would be 30, since this is the smallest number both 3 and 10 go into.

So, after that, we need to multiply each numerator by the number we needed to multiply our denominator by to get to 30.

So, 10 times 3 equals 30. So, we need to multiply 9 by 3 as well, which is 27.

Our new fraction here would be:

27
----
30

Next, to get 30, we need to multiply 3 by 10 to get 30. So, we also need to multiply 1 by 10, which is 10. 

Our new fraction would be:

10
---
30

So lets take a look at our new equation.

27   10
--- + ---- 
30   30

Lets add them together. Remember the denominators need to stay the same:

37
----
30

Now that we have an improper fraction, we need to simplify it. 37 goes into 30 once, and we have 7 left over.

So, our final answer would be:

1 and 7
         ----  of a mile.
