B. By solving for x, you get x=8.39,x=-2.39.
Cost of the 3 shirts before tax = 2*49.96 + 1/2 * 49.96
= $124.90
After adding 7.1% tax total cost = 124.90 * 1.071 = $133.77
So the cost od each shirt = 133.77 / 3 = $44.59 (answer)
(16*0) + (4*1)
16*10 = 160
4*1 = 4
160 + 4
The answer is 164! :)
Answer:
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
Explanation:
If we have a function of the form

then
a = intital amount
b = growth / decay rate factor
x = time interval
If b > 1; then the equation is modelling growth. If b < 0, then the equation is modelling decay.
Now in our case, we have

Here we see that
inital amount = a = 4
b = 1/ 2 < 0, meaning the function is modeling decay
decay factor = b = 1/2
Therefore, the answers are
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
