Due to the increase of posts on social media, the number of flip cell phones is in exponential decline. Data collected from 2009

to 2014 shows the estimated number of flip phones amongst Washington State high school students.
Years (since 2009) 0 1 2 3 4

Number of Flip Phones 256 192 144 108 81
(in thousands)


Write an equation in two variables to represent this situation. Let x represent the number years since 2009 and y represent the total number of flip phones (in thousands) owned by high school students in Washington.

Answer:

y=256e^{-0.288x}

where y is in thousands

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in two variables that can be used to represent the situation given can be determined using computer software such Stat-Crunch or Ms. Excel or advanced calculators.

I shall use Ms. Excel for this question.

In Ms. Excel, enter the data into any two adjacent columns. Next, highlight the data, then click the insert ribbon and select the scatter-plot option.

Excel returns a scatter-plot chart as shown in the attachment below.

After obtaining the scatter-plot, we shall need to add a trend line in order to determine the mathematical equation that best fits the scenario given.

Click anywhere inside the chart, then select the design tab under chart tools. Click on the Add Chart element in the upper left corner of the excel workbook and select more trend-line options. This feature will enable us to fit any trend-line to our data.

Select the exponential option, since we were informed that he number of flip cell phones is in exponential decline,ensuring you check the box; Display Equation on chart.

Find the attached.

The equation in two variables is thus;

y=256e^{-0.288x}

David is going to install tiles on the floor of two rooms. One of the floors is 18 feet long by 12 feet wide. The other floor is
crimeas [40]
Dimension of one of the floors of one room that David wants to install tiles is 18feet long by 12 feet wide
Then
Area of the above room = 18 * 12 square feet
                                       = 216 square feet
Dimension of the floor of the other room that David wants to install tiles is 24 feet long and 16 feet wide
Then
Area of the other room = 24 * 16 square feet
                                     = 384 square feet
Then
The total square feet of the
rooms that David wants to install tiles = 216 + 384
                                                             = 600 square feet
Cost of the tile that covers 1 square feet = $5
Cost of the 4 tiles that cover 4 square feet = $17
Then  
Area that can be covered with 4 square feet of tiles = 600/4 square feet
                                                                                  = 150 square feet
Minimum cost of covering
the two rooms that David wants to install tiles = 150 * 17 dollars
                                                                          = 2550 dollars
So the minimum cost of installing the tiles on the two floors of David's two rooms is $2550. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

Answer:

1) just make an equation (answer below)

SO the new bottle is 30 ounces

The old bottle was 25 percent more then the new one

So we can just find 25 percent of 30

And add it

That is the most simple way but I would just do

30*1.25 Its the same thing but if you think a bout ti, the new bottle can Only hold 30 ounces, 30 ounces is 100 percent of the new bottle, if you multiply 1.25 its adding 25 percent so it Turns a 2 step into a 1 step.

1.25*30=37.5

The larger bottle was 37.5 ounces
