A woman who has recovered from a serious illness begins a diet regimen designed to get her back to a healthy weight. She current

ly weighs 103 pounds. She hopes each week to multiply her weight by 1.08 each week. (a) Find a formula for an exponential function that gives the woman's weight w, in pounds, after t weeks on the regimen. (b) How long will it be before she reaches her normal weight of 135 pounds?

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.

Simplify (x^3)(x^-2)

Hey there!

When multiplying variables with the same degree, be sure to add the two degrees being multiplied.

For example;

x * x; both of these terms have the degree of "1" as they are "x^1". Since we are multiplying them, we need to add their degrees.
x^1 * x^1 = x^2

Now that we've broken down what we are doing, let's apply this new knowledge to your problem.

(x^3)(x^-2); Remember to just add the degrees; -2 + 3 = 1
This means our product is x^1, or just x.

I hope this helps!

A grocery store has small bags of apples for $5 and large bags of apples for $8. If you buy 6 bags and spend $45, how many of ea
ladessa [460]
Based on the given problem above, here is the given solution.
Given that small bags = $5
                 large bags = $8
                 6 bags = $45
                 ? = number of each size bag you bought
The answer based on the given values above is 5 LARGE BAGS and 1 SMALL BAG.
Since per large bag is $8. $8 x 5 = $40
And per small bag is $5 x 1 = $5
So this gives you a total of $45
hope this helps!

nignag [31]
My estimated answer for 1 is x=1.59 or x=-1.26 and my exact answer is (in word form) x= 1 plus or minus the square root of 73 over 6. my estimated answer for 2 is x=-0.34 or x=1.74 and my exact answer (in word form) is x= -7 plus or minus the square root of 109 over -10. I took a picture of my work and hopefully you can read it
