Answer:

B) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given exponential function:

f(x)=3(5)^x

The growth factor between x=1 and x=3 is 25.

To find the growth factor between x=5 and x=7

Solution:

The growth factor of an exponential function in the interval x=a and x=b is given by :

G=\frac{f(b)}{f(a)}

We can check this by plugging in the given points.

The growth factor between x=1 and x=3 would be calculated as:

G=\frac{f(3)}{f(1)}

f(3)=3(5)^3

f(1)=3(5)^1

Plugging in values.

G=\frac{3(5)^3}{3(5)^1}

G=\frac{(5)^3}{(5)^1} (On canceling the common terms)

G=(5)^{(3-1)}  (Using quotient property of exponents \frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)} )

G=(5)^{2}

∴ G=25  

Similarly the growth factor between x=5 and x=7 would be:

G=\frac{f(7)}{f(5)}

f(7)=3(5)^7

f(5)=3(5)^5

Plugging in values.

G=\frac{3(5)^7}{3(5)^5}

G=\frac{(5)^7}{(5)^5} (On canceling the common terms)

G=(5)^{(7-5)}  (Using quotient property of exponents \frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)} )

G=(5)^{2}

∴ G=25  

Thus, the growth factor remains the same which is  =25.

If a plane can travel 490 miles per hour with the wind and 390 miles per hour against the​ wind, find the speed of the wind and
abruzzese [7]
Let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y
therefore:
x+y=490
x-y=390
next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:
2x=880
x=880/2
x=440 miles per hour.
substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:
440+y=490
y=490-440
y=50 miles per hour

If you wanted to find the mean height of students in an elementary school,
Kryger [21]

It is not possible to select a single group from the primary school, since being a single group it could not in any way represent the entire primary school.

Choosing a group would provide the average height for that group, not the entire primary.

Assumptions can be made that the course of half of the primary would theoretically give us a more accurate representation, but the objective is to select a number of students from each course and there would be a representative sample of the entire primary.

Wich is bigger 0.54 or 0.6
KengaRu [80]
Make 0.54 and 0.6 a fraction. 0.54= \frac{54}{100} \ and \ 0.6= \frac{6}{10} \\ Therefore, 0.6 is bigger.
