We have been given that a virus has infected 400 people in the town and is spreading to 25% more people each day. We are asked to write an exponential function to model this situation.

Since the number of infected people is increasing, so our model will be exponential growth model.

An exponential growth function is in form y=a(1+r)^x, where,

y = Final amount,

a = Initial amount,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

x = Time.

Let us convert 25% into decimal form.

25\%=\frac{25}{100}=0.25

The initial number of infected people is 400, so our function would be y=400(1+0.25)^x.

y=400(1.25)^x

To find the number of infected in 10 days, we will substitute x=10 in our given formula as:

y=400(1.25)^{10}

y=400(9.3132257461547852)

y=3725.290298\approx 3725

Therefore, there will be approximately 3725 infected people in 10 days.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: 8 members of the science group decided to watch the science fiction movie

Step-by-step explanation:

When a group of 40 friends goes to the movies at a multiplex, 1/5 of the group decides to watch a science friction movie. This means that the total sum of the members of the group that decided to watch the science fiction movie and the members that did not watch the science fiction movie is 40.

If 1/5 of the group decides to watch a science friction movie, that means that 1/5 of 40 watched the science fiction movie. It becomes

1/5 × 40/= 40/5 = 8

8 members of the science group decided to watch the science fiction movie.

Please help ! And explain if u can
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Scalene Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mark the points on the graph, all three sides have different lengths and angles, therefor it is a scalene triangle.

It cannot be a right triangke bc there is no right angle, and no obtuse either so that crosses out obtuse as an option as well. In order to be an isoceles triangle it must have two sides of equal length, but it does not.
