Oxford currently generates 45,000 tons of garbage per year. but the city is launching some recycling initiatives to bring that n

umber down. If as a result, the amount of garbage decreases by 5% each year. Is this problem exponential growth or decay? Identify the growth or decay factor.
growth, (1 + .05)
growth, (1-.05)
decay,(1+.05)
decay,(1-.05)

Answer:

-Exponential Decay

-Decay factor is (1-0.05)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given that the number decreases by a defined rate each year from the initial size by 5%,

-This is an exponential decay function of the form:

y=Ae^{-rt}

Where:

y is the quantity/size after time t

A is the initial size

r is the rate of decay

-Our function can the be written as

y=45000e^{-0.05t}

Hence, the decay rate/factor is 0.05

#Alternatively

The exponential decay can be of the form:

y=ab^x

Where:

y is the size at time x, a is the initial size, x is time and b is the decay factor.

b is of the form b=(1-r),\ \  r=decay\  rate

y=ab^x\\\\y=45000(1-0.05)^x

Hence, the decay factor is (1-0.05)

Factor x^2-5x-24 i need help to figure this out
Mrac [35]

Answer:

(x-8)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?

2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?

In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.

Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that

8+ −3=5

which is one of the factors of -24.

This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:

(x−3)(x+8)

Hope this helped!

I need help remembering the steps to solve
Viefleur [7K]
Take a common point ( C in this case)
1. Take the difference of the y coordinates from the point vertical to C.
   C from D in this case.
2.Take the diff of the x coordinates from the points  horizontal to the first.
  C from B in this case.
3. Now add the diff to the common point. X to x Y to y.
