Answer: f(t)=180(0.5)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The general exponential function is given by :-

f(x)=Ab^t, where A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of change and t is the time period.

From , the given table the value of the function at t=0 is 180.

i.e the initial amount of radioactive material = 180

Also, the multiplicative rate is the common ratio of the values of the function w.r.t. to time

The multiplicative rate =\dfrac{90}{180}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5

Now, the exponential function best represents the relationship between f(t) and t will be :-

f(t)=180(0.5)^t

\bf \begin{array}{c|ccc} t&0&1&2\\ f(t)&180&90&45 \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}\qquad \stackrel{t}{0}~~,~~\stackrel{f(t)}{180}\\\\ A=I(1 - r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &180\\ I=\textit{initial amount}\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &0\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ 180=I(1-r)^0\implies 180=I(1)\implies 180=I \\\\\\ \boxed{A=180(1-r)^t} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{t}{1}~~,~~\stackrel{f(t)}{90}\qquad \qquad 90=180(1-r)^1\implies \cfrac{90}{180}=1-r \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{2}=1-r\implies r=1-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies r=\cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ A=180\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)^t\implies A=180\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^t

Kevin wanted to go snowboarding for his vacation. Explain how he could make his decision regarding whether to go to Resort A or
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Resort A has more consistent snowfall, so it shows less variation. However, the snowfall for Resort B has a higher median, and the interquartile range is higher (not larger), so it is more likely that Kevin will find a good snowfall at Resort B.

Thanks:) I just did it edg

The answer is D. It can't be considered a funtion unless each X value only has 1 Y value corresponding to it. In this problem, you see the X value 3 paired with -1 and 1.
