The graphs below show four functions: Graph A shows function f of x equals 5 multiplied by 2 to the power of negative x. Graph B

shows function f of x equals 5 multiplied by 2 to the power of x. Graph C shows function f of x equals 10 to the power of x. Graph D shows function f of x equals 10 to the power of negative x. Which graph best shows the function f(x) = 5(2)−x to represent the rate at which a radioactive substance decays?

We are to find the graph which best represents the given function:

f (x) = 5 (2)^-x

 

To be able to solve this, let us write the function of each graph mathematically and select the correct one.

 

Graph A:

function f of x equals 5 multiplied by 2 to the power of negative x => f (x) = 5 (2)^-x

 

Graph B:

function f of x equals 5 multiplied by 2 to the power of x => f (x) = 5 (2)^x

 

Graph C:

function f of x equals 10 to the power of x => f (x) = 10^x

 

Graph D:

function f of x equals 10 to the power of negative x => f (x) = 10^-x

 

Therefore based on the mathematical interpretations above, only Graph A is similar to the given function. Hence the correct answer is:

Graph A

0.3(4-x)=x-1.4 how do you solve this problem?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

0.3 (4 - x) = x - 1.4

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

1.2 - 0.3 x = x - 1.4

Subtract x from both sides:

1.2 + (-0.3 x - x) = (x - x) - 1.4

-0.3 x - x = -1.3 x:

-1.3 x + 1.2 = (x - x) - 1.4

x - x = 0:

1.2 - 1.3 x = -1.4

Subtract 1.2` from both sides:

(1.2 - 1.2) - 1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4

1.2 - 1.2 = 0:

-1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4

-1.2 - 1.4 = -2.6:

-1.3 x = -2.6

Divide both sides of -1.3 x = -2.6 by -1.3:

(-1.3 x)/(-1.3) = (-2.6)/(-1.3)

(-1.3)/(-1.3) = 1:

x = (-2.6)/(-1.3)

(-2.6)/(-1.3) = 2.:

Answer:  x = 2.

An angle made with two radii whose vertex is at the center of a circle is the definition of what
Katena32 [7]

Answer: congruent central angles

Step-by-step explanation:

A central angle is an angle formed by two radii with the vertex at the center of the circle. In the diagram at the right, ∠AOB is a central angle with an intercepted minor arc from A to B. In a circle, or congruent circles, congruent central angles have congruent arcs.

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the
sertanlavr [38]
The answer is C because if you substitute in X-6 for the y in the first equation (since X-6 is also equal to y), you get 2x=16 which means x=8. There is only one option where 8 is equal to X, but just to check you can substitute it back into either of the original equations to make sure that y=2.
