I think she is gonna have to pay $14 because if you divide the number it costs by the number of pounds she bought, you get the price per pound. Not sure though.

I dont understand how to do this precalc question
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

  • x-intercept:  (-0.1, 0)
  • Horizontal Asymptote: y = -3
  • Exponential <u>growth</u>

(First answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>General form of an exponential function</u>

y=ab^x+c

where:

  • a is the initial value (y-intercept).
  • b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form:
    If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
    If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.
  • y=c is the horizontal asymptote.
  • x is the independent variable.
  • y is the dependent variable.

Given <u>exponential function</u>:

y=4(10)^x-3

<h3><u>x-intercept</u></h3>

The x-intercept is the point at which the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0.  To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into the given equation and solve for x:

\begin{aligned}& \textsf{Set the function to zero}:& 4(10)^x-3 &=0\\\\& \textsf{Add 3 to both sides}:& 4(10)^x &=3\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by 4}:& 10^x &=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\& \textsf{Take natural logs of both sides}:& \ln 10^x &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Apply the power log law}:&x \ln 10 &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by }\ln 10:&x&=\dfrac{\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}{\ln 10} \\\\& \textsf{Simplify}:&x&=-0.1\:\:\sf(1\:d.p.)\end{aligned}

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-0.1, 0) to the nearest tenth.

<h3><u>Asymptote</u></h3>

An <u>asymptote</u> is a line that the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.

The <u>parent function</u> of an <u>exponential function</u> is:

f(x)=b^x

As<em> </em>x approaches -∞ the function f(x) approaches zero, and as x approaches ∞ the function f(x) approaches ∞.

Therefore, there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

This means that a function in the form  f(x) = ab^x+c always has a horizontal asymptote at y = c.  

Therefore, the horizontal asymptote of the given function is y = -3.

<h3><u>Exponential Growth and Decay</u></h3>

A graph representing exponential growth will have a curve that shows an <u>increase</u> in y as x increases.

A graph representing exponential decay will have a curve that shows a <u>decrease</u> in y as x increases.

The part of an exponential function that shows the growth/decay factor is the base (b).  

  • If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
  • If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.

The base of the given function is 10 and so this confirms that the function is increasing since 10 > 1.

Find the first term of a sequence x+1,2x-18,2x-1,if this sequence is an arithmetic progression​
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a₁ = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic progression the common difference d is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

2x - 18 - (x + 1) = 2x - 1 - (2x - 18) ← distribute and simplify both sides

2x - 18 - x - 1 = 2x - 1 - 2x + 18

x - 19 = 17 ( add 19 to both sides )

x = 36

Thus

a₁ = x + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37
