Initially, there were only 86 weeds in the garden. The weeds grew at a rate of 29% each week. The following function represents

the weekly weed growth: f(x) = 86(1.29)x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the weeds grow each day.
A.f(x) = 86(1.04)x; grows approximately at a rate of 0.4% daily
B.f(x) = 86(1.04)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 4% daily
C.f(x) = 86(1.29)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 20% daily
D.f(x) = 86(1.297)x; grows approximately at a rate of 2% daily

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.

A sample of n=8 scores has a mean of m=12. What is the value of ∑x for this sample
Andrews [41]

A sample of n=8 scores has a mean of m=12. What is the value of ∑x for this sample

Answer: We are given the mean of 8 scores is 12.

We are required to find the sum of these 8 observation's, \sum x

We know that:

\bar{x}=\frac{\sum x}{n}

We are given:

\bar{x} = 12, n=8

\therefore 12=\frac{\sum x}{8}

      \sum x = 12 \times 8

      \sum x=96

Hence, sum of 8 observation's, \sum x =96

On a flight from New York to London, an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in mile
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

On a flight New York to London an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles d to the number of hours flying t is t= 1/500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?

Speed is the change in distance if a body with respect to time. It is expressed mathematically according to the question as t = 1/500 × d

To determine the time it will take to travel 800miles, we will substitute d = 800 into the modeled equation.

t = 1/500 × 800

t = 800/500

t = 8/5

t = 1.6

The equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (-2,2) is:

y = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{12}{5}

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. In this problem, the given line passes through (-5,-4) and (0,-3), hence the slope is:

m = (-3 - (-4))/(0 - (-5)) = 1/5.

Hence the equation is:

y = \frac{x}{5} + b

When x = -2, y = 2, then:

y = \frac{x}{5} + b

2 = \frac{-2}{5} + b

b = \frac{12}{5}

Hence:

y = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{12}{5}
