The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

y=1500(0.937)^t

Explanation:

An exponential function is of the form

y=a\times b^x, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.

For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.

The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063.  Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.

We use t as the number of years.

This gives us

y=1500(0.937)^t

Solve for a r=x(a+b)<br><br><br> Solve for x x/2=-7
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a = (r/x) -b

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

r=x(a+b)

Divide each side by x

r/x = a+b

Subtract b

r/x  -b = a

x/2=-7

Multiply each side by 2

x/2*2 = -7*2

x = -14

How do I do multiplication?
levacccp [35]
<span>Multiply the number in the tens place of the bottom number by the number in hundreds place of the top number. Multiply 3 times 7 to equal 21. Add the 1 you carried to equal 22. You don't need to carry the 2 in 22, as there are no more numbers to multiply on this line, so you can just write it down next to the 6.</span>

QUICK HELP!!!!
sasho [114]

Answer:

y =  \frac{3}{4} x -  \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  \frac{3}{4} x - 1→y - y1 = m( x - x1)

y - 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (x - 6)→y - 6 =  \frac{3}{4} x - 6

2(y - 6) = 2( \frac{3}{4} )(x - 6)

2y - 6=  \frac{3}{2}( x - 6)

2y - 6 =  \frac{3}{2} x - 9

- 6 \: from \: both \: sides

2y  =  \frac{3}{2} x - 3

divede \: by \: 2 \: on \: both \: sides

y =  \frac{3}{4} x -  \frac{3}{2}

Hope this helps!
