Answer:

The order of the function according to the y-intercept is  h(x)>j(x)>g(x)>f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function f(x) is,

f(x)=4^{x-2}+2

Put x=0,

f(0)=4^{0-2}+2=2.0625

The y intercept of f(x) is 2.0625.

The given function g(x) is,

g(x)=3(20)^x

Put x=0,

g(x)=3(20)^0=3

The y intercept of g(x) is 3.

The h(x) is monitoring the decay of a population of fungi. It is reducing in half every four weeks. The population started at 14.

Since the initial population is 14 therefore the y intercept of h(x) is 14.

The value of y in g(x) are in geometric progression with half as common ratio or the function j(x) can be defined as,

j(x)=10(\frac{1}{2} )^x

Put x=0,

j(0)=10(\frac{1}{2} )^0=10

The y intercept of j(x) is 10.

Therefore the order of function according to the y-intercept is,

h(x)>j(x)>g(x)>f(x)

The y-intercept is the value of the function when x = 0.

1) f(x) = 4 ^ (x - 2) + 2

=> x = 0 => f(0) = 4 ^ (0 - 2) + 2 = = 4^(-2) + 2 = 1/16 + 2 = 2.0625


<span>2) g(x) = 3(20)^x  => x = 0 => 3 (20)^ 0 = 3(1) = 3

3) h(x)

Al is monitoring the decay of a population of fungi. It is reducing in half every four weeks. The population started at 14.

the y-intercept is the population at x = 0 which is 4

4)    x     j(x)
       1      5.0
       0      2 <--------- this is the y intercept
       2.5   0
       3      1.25

So, the order is 14 > 3 > 2.0625 > 2

=> h(x) > g(x) > f(x) > j(x) <-------- answer

Malcolm is filling bags with rice. He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each
Sliva [168]

Basically we want to know how many times 5/8 goes into 5 1/4.

5 1/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 × 8/5 = 42/5 = 8.4 bags

Since we cannot have a fraction of a bag, he can fill 8 bags completely.

answer: 8 bags

Ipatiy [6.2K]
Hello!

First you can distribute the 3

4 + 6r + 6s + 3r

Then you combine like terms

4 + 9r + 6s

The answer is 9r + 6s + 4

Hope this helps!

Which representation has a constant of variation of -2.5
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of variation is found using the slope formula:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The given relation is

X : -2 , -3, -4, -5  

Y : -5, -7.5,-10,-12.5

We can use any two ordered pair to find the constant of variation.

Using (-2,-5) and (-3,-7.5), we have

m=\frac{-7.5--5}{-3--2} =\frac{-2.5}{-1} =2.5

The constant of variation is 2.5

We need to repeat this for all the options to identify the one with -2.5 as slope.

unfortunately, you did not provide the remaining options.

A builder of houses needs to order some supplies that have a waiting time Y for delivery, with a continuous uniform distribution
xenn [34]

Answer:

The Expected cosy of the builder is $433.3

Step-by-step explanation:

$400 is the fixed cost due to delay.

Given Y ~ U(1,4).

Calculating the Variable Cost, V

V = $0 if Y≤ 2

V = 50(Y-2) if Y > 2

This can be summarised to

V = 50 max(0,Y)

Cost = 400 + 50 max(0, Y-2)

Expected Value is then calculated by;

Waiting day =2

Additional day = at least 1

Total = 3

E(max,{0, Y - 2}) = integral of Max {0, y - 2} * ⅓ Lower bound = 1; Upper bound = 4, (4,1)

Reducing the integration to lowest term

E(max,{0, Y - 2}) = integral of (y - 2) * ⅓ dy Lower bound = 2; Upper bound = 4 (4,2)

E(max,{0, Y - 2}) = integral of (y) * ⅓ dy Lower bound = 0; Upper bound = 2 (2,0)

Integrating, we have

y²/6 (2,0)

= (2²-0²)/6

= 4/6 = ⅔

Cost = 400 + 50 max(0, Y-2)

Cost = 400 + 50 * ⅔

Cost = 400 + 33.3

Cost = 433.3

Find a general term an for the sequence whose first four terms are given.<br> 2, 4, 8, 16, ...
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

  an = 2·2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are simple tests to determine whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric. The test for an arithmetic sequence is to check to see if the differences between terms are the same. Here the differences are 2, 4, 8, so are not the same.

The test for a geometric sequence is to check to see if the ratios of terms are the same. Here, the ratios are ...

  4/2 = 2

  8/4 = 2

  16/8 = 2

These ratios are all the same (they are "common"), so the sequence is geometric.

The general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

Filling in the values for this sequence, we find the general term to be ...

  an = 2·2^(n-1)
