Answer:

"f(x) = 4(1.02)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily"

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

A virus that initially infected four people is spreading at a rate of 15% each week. The following function represents the weekly spread of the virus: f(x) = 4(1.15)x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the virus spreads each day and calculate this rate as a percentage.

f(x) = 4(1.15)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 1.5% daily

f(x) = 4(1.02)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily

f(x) = 4(1.157)x; spreads at a rate of approximately 2.66% daily

f(x) = 4(1.02)x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.2% daily

<u>Solution:</u>

The weekly number of people infected would be:

f(x)=4(1.15)^x

7 days in a week, so daily number of people infected would be:

f(x)=4(1+r)^{7x}

To find daily rate, we set these 2 equations equal and solve for r:

4(1.15)^x=4(1+r)^{7x}\\1.15^x=(1+r)^{7x}\\1.15^x=((1+r)^7)^x\\1+r=1.02\\r=1-1.02=0.02

That is 0.02*100 = 2% daily

2nd answer choice is right.

A line includes the points (7,4) and (8,6). What is it’s equation in slope- intercept form?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slope

M= y2-y1/ x2-x1.

6-4 / 8-7 = 2/1 or 2

Then you pick one set of coordinates and plug the information into the formula. It doesn't matter which set you use as long as you plug the information in correctly.

I will choose (6,4)

Slope intercept formula is y-y1 =m(x-x1)

Y-4=2(x-6)

Then you simplify.

Y-4=2x-12

+4. +4

Y=2x-8 is your solution.

What is the solution to this equation 8 - 2x + 6x = 24
san4es73 [151]

x = 4

First you combine like terms:

8 + 4x = 24

Then solve:

4x = 24 - 8

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4
