Answer:
Every week, the mass of the sample is multiplied by a factor of 0.81
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rewrite the base and find the expression whose exponent is just ttt.
(0.97)7t+5=(0.97)7t⋅(0.97)5=(0.977)t⋅(0.97)5
Therefore, we can rewrite the modeling function as follows.
M(t)=(0.97)5⋅(0.977)t
According to this model, the mass of the sample is multiplied by 0.977 every week. Rounding this to two decimal places, we get 0.977≈0.81.
Proportional equations are the equations that have the graph which pass through (0,0).
y = -9x is proportional.
y=x is proportional
y=1/2x is proportional
That's it. Only these three equations have (0,0) intercept.
The answer is $132,000
First you multiply 120,000 by .10 which you get 12,000
Then you just add it and you find the answer
0.94>0.49 because 0.94 is the larger number.
