Given:
The function is:
To find:
The initial value of the function.
Solution:
We have,
The value of the function at x=0 is called the initial value of the function.
For x=0, we get
Clearly 0.88 is a non zero number and zero to the power of a non zero number is always 1.
Therefore, the initial value of the function is 350.
Answer:
Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is 1 and 24 respectively
Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is 3 and 12 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of Rocks you collect be x
Let the number of Fossils you collect be y
Then the total number pf objects you collected will be
x + y = 25
x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)
Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.
This can be written as
-------------------(2)
Substituting (1) in (2)
Grouping the like terms we get,
y= 24
Substituting y value in equation(1) we get
x = 25 - 24
x= 1
Friends collects 3 times rock
so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks
Also he collects half as many fossils
That is
