Answer:

The multiplicative rate of change of the function is \dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the table

\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\ \\1&6\\2&4\\ \\3&\dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\4&\dfrac{16}{9}\end{array}

An exponential function can be written as

y=a\cdot b^x,

where b is the multiplicative rate of change of the function.

Find a and b. Substitute first two corresponding values of x and y into the function expression:

6=a\cdot b^1\\ \\4=a\cdot b^2

Divide the second equality by the first equality:

\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{a\cdot b^2}{a\cdot b^1}\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2}{3}

Substitute it into the first equality:

6=a\cdot \dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6\cdot 3}{2}=9

So, the function expression is

y=9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^x

Check whether remaining two values of x and y suit this expression:

9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^3=9\cdot \dfrac{8}{27}=\dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^4=9\cdot \dfrac{16}{81}=\dfrac{16}{9}

So, the multiplicative rate of change of the function is \dfrac{2}{3}

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate
Veronika [31]

It takes 8.35 hours for the size of the sample to double

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the continuous exponential growth model is

A=Pe^{rt} , where

  • A is the new value
  • P is the initial value
  • r is the rate of growth or decay  in decimal
  • t is the time

∵ The growth rate is 8.3%

∴ r = 8.3 ÷ 100 = 0.083

∵ The size of the sample will doubled in t hours

∴ A = 2 P

Use the formula of the contentious exponential growth above

∵ 2P=Pe^{0.083t}

- Divide both sides by P

∴ 2=e^{0.083t}

- Insert ㏑ in both sides

∴ ln(2)=ln(e^{0.083t})

- Remember ln(e^{n})=n because ㏑(e) = 1

∴ ln(2)=0.083t

- Divide both sides by 0.083

∴ \frac{ln(2)}{0.083}=t

∴ t = 8.35 hours to the nearest hundredth

It takes 8.35 hours for the size of the sample to double

A concert hall sells half price tickets to members of the armed forces. For a concert last week, the hall sold 300 tickets altog
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The normal ticket price is \$22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the normal ticket price

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

(300-50)x+(50)\frac{x}{2}=6,050

Solve for x

(250)x+(25)x=6,050

(275)x=6,050

x=6,050/275=\$22
