Answer:
Last year there were 550 bison in the heard and this year it is 10% larger.
10% is also 10/100 or 0.10
To find 10% of the heard last year
550 x.0.10 = 55. To find the number in the heard this year add 550 (last year) + 55 (10% growth) = 605 or,
to find how many there are now last years heard size was 100% of the heard or 1.00. To find any percent more add it to 1.00 and multiply by the starting amount.
550 x 1.10 = 605
For the second example.
If there are 550 bison in the heard this year, and this year was a decrease of 10% from last year we can express last year's number like this.
550 = (x - (x * 0.10)) simplify;
550 = 1x - 0.10x
550 = 0.90x
Divide both sides by 0.90
x = 611.11 but it's hard to have 0.11 of a bison so realistically 611 bison last year. Subtract 10% or 61 and you indeed have 550 this year.
Those number are all powers of 10
10= 10^1
100= 10^2
1000= 10^3
and so on...
A) f(x) is decreasing because the base is less than 1.
0.56 is close to 0.5, so its like saying that you are taking half each time, therefore the value is getting smaller.
g(x) is increasing because the base is greater than 1.
you are multiplying by 4 each time, making the value bigger.
B ) The y-intercept is where x=0.
Anything to the '0' power is 1. Therefore the y-intercept is equal to the coefficient in front of each function.
f(x) = 3 , g(x) = 6
C) Just plug in x=4 to each function in a calculator.
f(4) = 0.295
g(4) = 1536
Answer:
y=3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a calculator to guess and check
Expand the expression?
Perform indicated multiplication:
7a(2a)+7a(-5)-4(2a)-4(-5)
14a^2-35a-8a+20 combine like terms, ie (-35a-8a)=-43a
14a^2-43a+20
