The candle sales decreases to - 15 percentage.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(476 - 560) : 560 x 100

= (476 : 560 - 1)100

= 85 - 100 = - 15

Therefore, - 15% did the candle sales decrease.

in 2012, the population of a city was 63,000. by 2017, the population was reduced to approximately 54,100. identify any equation
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

<em></em>f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x<em></em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(0) = 63000 ---x = 0, in 2012

f(5) = 54100 -- x = 5, in 2017

Required

Select all possible equations

Because there is a reduction in the population, as time increases; the rate must be less than 1.

An exponential function is represented as:

f(x) = ab^x

Where

b = rate

rate > 1 in options (a) and (b) i.e. 1.03

This implies that (a) and (b) cannot be true

For option (c), we have:

f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x

Set x = 0

f(0) = 63000(0.97)^0 = 63000*1=63000\\

Set x = 5

f(5) = 63000(0.97)^5 = 63000*0.8587=54098.1 \approx 54100

<em>This is true because the calculated values of f(0) and f(5) correspond to the given values</em>

For option (d), we have:

f(x) = 52477(0.97)^x

Set x = 0

f(0) = 52477(0.97)^0 - 52477* 1 = 52477

<em>This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value</em>

For option (e), we have:

f(x) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5x}

Set x = 0

f(0) = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{5*0} = 63000(0.97)^\frac{1}{0} =undefined

<em>This is false because the f(x) is not undefined at x = 0</em>

For option (f), we have:

f(x) = 52477(0.97)^{5x

Set x = 0

f(0) = 52477(0.97)^{5*0} = 52477(0.97)^0 =52477*1= 52477

<em>This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value</em>

<em>From the computations above, only (c) </em>f(x) = 63000(0.97)^x<em> is true</em>

Does anyone know the answer and how to solve?
Valentin [98]
First box should be: 2 bc of the second statement
second box (top right): 5 bc 12 students total, subtract from rest (u do this last)
third box: 1 bc all that’s leftover from first box
fourth box (bottom right) 5 bc of third statement
basically, for two way tables each box must apply/be applied to two topics. hope this helps

Please help I am very confused on what to do.​

The question is asking to make facts about the graph. Do you see any domain,range, maximum or minimum, etc. you didn’t add the graph. So remember that
Domain is all possible input (x) values
Range is all possible output (y) values
Function is the x-values can NOT repeat.

Please help!

Because
\frac{f(x)}{x-3} = 2x^{2} + 10x - 1
therefore
f(x) = (x-3)(2x² + 10x - 1) + k, where k =  constant.

Because f(3) = 4, therefore k =4.
The polynomial is
f(x) = 2x³ + 10x² - x - 6x² - 30x + 3 + 4
      = 2x³ + 4x² - 31x + 7

Answer:  f(x) = 2x³ + 4x² - 31x + 7

Which of the following points lies on the line 2x+3y=5
Romashka [77]

Answer:

1,1

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you enter this equation into a graphing calculator and see which x and y value match and those are your points . Or you can substitute values in for x by isolating y by itself
