Answer:

The bus fair is 50% increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage is the proportion of the relation to the whole.

Percentage increase is calculate as ratio of difference of original and new value to the original value. i.e.

$\frac{ Percentage\ increase\ \ =\ \ new\ value - original \ value}{original\ \ value}$

∴ $\frac{ Percentage\ increase\ \ =\ \ 2.25 - 1.50 }{1.50}$

⇒ Percentage increase = 50%

Function f is an exponential function. It predicts the value of a famous painting, in thousands of dollars, as a function of the

nalin [4]

Answer:

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

$f(x)=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

or

$f(x)=8 \cdot (1.25)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to see if the exponential curve is of the form:

$y=a \cdot b^x$ , ( $b\neq 0$ ).

If you are given the $y-$ intercept, then $a$ is easy to find.

It is just the $y-$ coordinate of the $y-$ intercept is your value for $a$ .

(Why? The $y-$ intercept happens when $x=0$ . Replacing $x$ with 0 gives $y=a \cdot b^0=a \cdot 1=a$ . This says when $x=0 \text{ that} y=a$ .)

So $a=8$ .

So our function so far looks like this:

$y=8 \cdot b^x$

Now to find $b$ we need another point. We have two more points. So we will find $b$ using one of them and verify for our resulting equation works for the other.

Let's do this.

We are given $(1,10)$ is a point on our curve.

So when $x=1$ , $y=10$ .

$10=8 \cdot b^1$

$10=8 \cdot b$

Divide both sides by 8:

$\frac{10}{8}=b$

Reduce the fraction:

$\frac{5}{4}=b$

So the equation if it works out for the other point given is:

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

Let's try it. So the last point given that we need to satisfy is $(2,12.5)$ .

This says when $x=2$ , $y=12.5$ .

Let's replace $x$ with 2 and see what we get for $y$ :

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^2$

$y=8 \cdot \frac{25}{16}$

$y=\frac{8}{16} \cdot 25$

$y=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 25}$

$y=\frac{25}{2}$

$y=12.5$

So we are good. We have found an equation satisfying all 3 points given.

The equation is $y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$ .

Solve sec2theta + tantheta - 3 =0 for 0

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Ф = $\frac{\pi }{4} ,\frac{5\pi}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a bit difficult to input the work here, so I uploaded an image

First we can use the trig identities to change sec²(Ф) to tan²(Ф) + 1
Then we can combine like terms
Then we can factor this as a polynomial function
Then we can set each term equal to zero and solve for Ф
The first term tan(Ф) - 2 = 0 has no solution because tan(Ф) ≠ -2 anywhere
The second term tan(Ф) - 1 = 0 has two solutions of $\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{5\pi}{4}$ so these are the solutions to the problem

The florida manatee population is 3,000 and is decreasing by 11% each year. Write a function for this situation.

True [87]

Answer:

$P=3000(0.89)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that, florida manatee population is 3,000 and is decreasing by 11% each year.

We want to write a function for this situation.

Since the population is decreasing annually, it is modelled by:

$P=P_0(1-r\%)^t$

We substitute the give initial population and rate of decrease to get:

$P=3000(1-0.11)^t$

This simplifies to:

$P=3000(0.89)^t$
