A function in which the dependent variable decreases by the same factor over each unit of time

VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

A quantity X follows an exponential decay (decrease) if it decreases at a rate proportional to its current value. This can be written as

X(t) = X_0 e^{-at}

with t being the time (can be continuous or discrete steps), and "a" being a rate of decay (the larger "a" the faster the decay). X0 is an initial (at time 0) value of the quatity X. Exponential decay is seen frequently in nature (radioactivity, chemical reactions) and economics.

Given f(x)=x3 and g(x)= 1-5x2, fine (fog)(x) and it’s Domain
andre [41]

Answer:

Option B. f(g(x)) = (1-5x ^ 2) ^ 3  all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

f(x) = x ^ 3 and g(x) = 1-5x ^ 2

They ask us to find

(fog)(x) and it's Domain

To solve this problem we must introduce the function g(x) within the function f(x)

That is, we must do f(g(x)).

So, we have:

f(x) = x ^ 3

g(x) = 1-5x ^ 2

Then:

f(g(x)) = (1-5x ^ 2) ^ 3

The domain of the function f(g(x)) is the range of the function g(x) = 1-5x ^ 2.

Since the domain and range of g(x) are all real numbers then the domain of f(g(x)) are all real numbers

Therefore the correct answer is the option b: f(g(x)) = (1-5x ^ 2) ^ 3

And his domain is all real.

Solve this application problem using a system of equations: Dan and June mix two kinds of feed for pedigreed dogs. They wish to
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

50 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan and june mix two kind of feed for pedigreed dogs

Feed A worth is $0.26 per pound

Feed B worth is $0.40 per pound

Let x represent the cheaper amount of feed and y the costlier type of feed

x+y= 70..........equation 1

0.26x + 0.40y= 0.30×70

0.26x + 0.40y= 21.........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y= 70

x= 70-y

Substitutes 70-y for x in equation 2

0.26(70-y) + 0.40y= 21

18.2-0.26y+0.40y= 21

18.2+0.14y= 21

0.14y= 21-18.2

0.14y= 2.8

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 0.14

0.14y/0.14= 2.8/0.14

y= 20

Substitute 20 for y in equation 1

x + y= 70

x + 20= 70

x= 70-20

x = 50

Hence Dan and june should use 50 pounds of the cheaper kind in the mix

Which equation is correctly rewritten to solve for x?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Te given equation is,

-qx + p = r

Toe find the value of x,

By subtracting  p from both the sides of the equation.

-qx + p - q = r - q

-qx = r - q

By dividing the whole equation by (-q),

\frac{-qx}{(-q)}=\frac{r-p}{-q}

x = -\frac{r-p}{q}

x = \frac{p-r}{q}

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.
