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

The number -3 can be classified as which of the following?
sp2606 [1]

<u>Answer</u>:

-3 is an integer, rational number and real number , so correct option id D) that is all of the above.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Integer is all natural number  that a 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ……. And zero and negative of natural numbers like -1 , -2 , -3 , - 4 ……. So -3 is an integer.

Rational number is the number which can be represented in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 . As -3 can be represented as (-3)/1 . hence -3 is also a rational number.

Real number is all number which can be represented on number line. All integers and rational numbers are real numbers . so -3 is also a real number.

Hence as -3 is an integer, rational number and real number , so correct option id D) that is all of the above.

What reason should kamal add to all of the question marks in order to completer the proof
brilliants [131]

Answer: The answers is alternate interior angles.


Step-by-step explanation:  First of all, the questions marks given in the figure are renamed in the attached figure as (a), (b), (c) and (d).

For (a): Since AC is parallel to A'C' and A'D is a transversal for these two parallel lines, so, ∠CDB' = ∠B'A'C', because these are alternate interior angles.

For (b): Since BC is parallel to B'C' and A'B' is a transversal, so ∠BEB' = ∠A'B'C', because these are alternate interior angles.

For (c): Since AB is parallel to A'B' and AD is a transversal, so ∠BAC = ∠CDB', because these are alternate interior angles.

For (d): Since AB is parallel to A'B' and BE is a transversal, so ∠ABC = ∠BEB', because these are alternate interior angles.

Thus, all the questions marks are the reasons that the given angles are equal because they are alternate interior angles.
