Hey there!
To solve this, we will first replace x with 5 anytime we see it in the equation.
f(5) = 2^5
Now, we simplify 2^5.
The base is 2 and the exponent is 5 in this case.
The exponent is the number of times you multiply the base by itself. In oour case:
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
f(5) = 32
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you must find the actual decrease in temperature.
Decrease = Yesterday's temperature - Today's temperature
Decrease = 80 - 75
Decrease = 5 degrees
Now, find the percentage decrease.
% Decrease = Actual decrease / Yesterday's temperature x 100
% Decrease = 5/80 x 100
% Decrease = 0.0625 x 100
% Decrease = 6.25 %
So, the percent decrease in high temperature from yesterday to today is 6.25%
