Answer:

  a) f(x) = -5/2x +50

  b) f(x) = 50·0.90^x

  c) f(x) = 8/3x -30

  d) f(x) = 10·1.15^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're studying linear and exponential functions. The general form of a linear function in "slope-intercept" form is ...

  f(x) = mx + b

where m is the slope (rate of change of output with respect to input), and b is the "output-intercept", the function value for an input of zero.

__

The general form of an exponential function is ...

  f(x) = a·(1 +r)^x

where "a" is the "output-intercept", the function value for an input of zero, and r is the fractional change for a unit change in input, x. Here, you're given r as a percentage. It will be positive when output increases with input, and it will be negative when output decreases with input.

__

Using the above function prototypes in the given scenarios, we have ...

a. A linear function with b=50, m=-10/4 = -5/2, so the function is ...

  f(x) = -5/2x +50

__

b. An exponential function with a=50, r=-0.10, so the function is ...

  f(x) = 50·(1 -0.10)^x

  f(x) = 50·0.90^x

__

c. A linear function with b=-30 and m = 16/6 = 8/3, so the function is ...

  f(x) = 8/3x -30

__

d. An exponential function with a=10 and r=+0.15, so the function is ...

  f(x) = 10·1.15^x

_____

<em>Comment on functions with percentage change</em>

You need to be a little bit careful with percentage change in a function. There are some scenarios where the rate of change in a linear function is described using percentages. For example, one might say that a car depreciates linearly, and has lost 40% of its value in the first 3 years. Then the rate of change is <em>-13.33% of its original value</em> each year.

Percentages are always in relation to some base value. If that base value is changing with each percentage change, the function is exponential. If that base value remains constant, then the function is linear.

Help me from 6-9 (geometry)
elena55 [62]

Answer:

6) Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180 degrees. For example, two right angles are supplementary angles.

7) When the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, they are called complementary angles. For example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.

8) you have to plot the points on the graph and draw a line and label it with L at one point and M at another point.

9) x = 20

m < A = 65

m < B = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

9)

3x + 5 + 2x - 15 = 90

3x + 2x + 5 - 15 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

5x - 10 + 10 = 90 + 10

5x = 100

5 / 5x = 100 / 5

x = 20

A = 3x + 5

A = 3(20) + 5

A = 60 + 5

A = 65

B = 2x - 15

B = 2(20) - 15

B = 40 - 15

B = 25

The volume of water remaining in a hot tub when it is being drained satisfies the differential equation dV/dt = −3(V)^1/2 , wher
dimaraw [331]
The given function is a variable separable differential equation. Combine like terms, integrate, apply the appropriate limits, and express V in terms of t. This is done as follows:

dV/dt = -3(V)^1/2
dV/-3V^1/2 = dt
\int\limits^V_m { \frac{1}{03 \sqrt{V} } } \, dV = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt

m here is the initial V which is 225. Then after integrating,

-2/3 (√V - √225) = t
-2/3 (√V - 15) = t

V= \sqrt{ \frac{-3}{2}t+15 }

That is the expression for V at time t. I hope I was able to help. Have a good day.
