Answer:

a.) w = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) 3.5weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If Her current weight is 103 pounds and she hopes to multiply her her weight each week by 1.08, then

her weight after 1 week = 103 * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08¹

Her weight after 2 weeks = [weight of week 1] * 1.08 = [103* 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08²

Weight after 3 weeks= [weight of week 2] * 1.08 = [103 * 1.08 * 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08³

Hence weight (W) after t weeks = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) If W = 135, Then

103 * 1.08^t = 135

1.08^t = 135/103

1.08^t = 1.31

Taking log of both sides,

log 1.08^t = log 1.31

t log 1.08 = log 1.32

t = log 1.32/log 1.08

t = 3.5 weeks.

Hence, it will take her 3½ weeks to get to 135pounds weight.

picture included , please help, which of the following equations describe the line shown below (1,10) and (-3,2) *check all that
rosijanka [135]
Slope is\text{m}=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}=\cfrac{10-2}{1-(-3)}
Then you use the equation
\text{y=mx+b}
Where b is the y-intercept. To find it, plug in x and y from one of the points. Say, point 1 (1,10):
10=m(1)+b
You know m (from above) and now you can solve for b.

Rearrange terms:
y-b=mx

And that will be the answer.

Make sense?

Marita orders 12 yards of material to make banners. If she needs 1 foot of fabric for each banner, how many banners can she make
Alik [6]
Well 3 feet=1 yard
so the conversion factor is 3ft/1yd

so 12 yards converted to feet is
12yd times 3ft/1yd
the yd will cancel and you will be left with 36 feet

each banner is 1 foot so 36/1=36
she can make 36 banners
