Answer:
<em>Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.
An exponential decaying function is expressed as:
Where:
C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t
Co is the initial value of C at t=0
r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal
The initial value of the item is Co=$1000, the rate of decay is r=40%=0.4, and the time is t=3 years.
Substituting into the formula:
C(3)=$216
Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly
Answer:
y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello : let A(-3,-4) B(6,2)
the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(2+4)/(6+3) = 6/9 = 2/3
an equation is the line is : y = ax+b a is a slope
y = (2/3)x+b
but this line passes by (6;2)
so : 2 = (2/3)(6)+b
b = -2
the equation is : y = (2/3)x-2
the the Y intercept of this line when : x= 0 so : y = (2/3)(0)-2
y=-2
The answer is 3/6.
So we know that 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2. 1/2 of 6 is 3. We can make this our numerator and our denominator as 6.
<span>Dawn was at 6 am.
Variables
a = distance from a to passing point
b = distance from b to passing point
c = speed of hiker 1
d = speed of hiker 2
x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is
The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as
a = cx = 9d
cx = 9d
x = 9d/c
The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as
b = dx = 4c
dx = 4c
x = 4c/d
We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other.
9d/c = 4c/d
Multiply both sides by d
9d^2/c = 4c
Divide both sides by c
9d^2/c^2 = 4
Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides
3d/c = 2
d/c = 2/3
We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now.
x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6
x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6
Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am.
We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>
