Step-by-step answer:
The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in
f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x
The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely
f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)
Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x
we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get
f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x
f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037
Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function
f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)
1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.
Answer: 5.22kg
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, a farmer sells 8.7 kilograms of pears and apples at the market. Of the pears and apples sold, 2/5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. To calculate the kilograms of apple sold goes thus:
Total kilograms sold = 8.7kg
Fraction of pears weight = 2/5
Pears kilograms sold = 2/5 × 8.7
= 0.4 × 8.7
= 3.48kg
Since the kilograms of pears sold is , 3.48kg, to get the kilograms of apple sold, we subtract 3.48kg from 8.7kg. This will be:
= 8.7kg - 3.48kg
= 5.22kg
Answer:
x = -1 y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = −4
x + 5y = −6
Multiply the first equation by -1
-x - 3y = 4
The add to the second equation to eliminate x
-x - 3y = 4
x + 5y = −6
--------------------
2y = -2
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -2/2
y = -1
Now solve for x
x+3y = -4
x +3(-1) = -4
x -3 = -4
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = -4+3
x = -1
