Answer:
x = 28 (So it takes 28 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C.)
y = -70 (So the temperature when the experiment begins is −70°C.)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the the x value, you remove the y value or replace it with 0.
0 = 5/2x - 70
Next you move the variable.
70 (2/5) = x (multiply 70 by 2 to get 140 and divide that by 5)
And now you simplify to get:
28
To find the y value, you remove the x value or replace it with 0.
y = 0 - 70
And now you simplify to get:
-70
x = 28
y = -70
K = 10
I think. I’m not positive sure though. Hope this helped!
This is exponential decay which can be expressed as:
y=ab^t, y=final value, a=initial value, b=rate, t=time
In this case a=25000, r=(100-20)/100=0.8 so
y=25000(0.8^t), so in 4.5 years...
y=25000(0.8^4.5)
y≈$9158.93 (to nearest cent)
So, the fraction of races that he won was:

: you need ti divide the number of occurrences by the number of possibilities.
We can simplify this:

.
When we write it in decimals until the closest place, it's:
0.167 or 16.667%
