Mathematics

Answer:

The answer is y=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number, we have to express the problem into an equation. Every time that we want to know a value of a variable, we have to express an equation that it contains the variable.

Let's express every part of the statement:

Three fifths=\frac{3}{5}

A number= y

negative 9= -9

Putting together every part into an equation:

\frac{3}{5}y=-9\\y=\frac{5}{3}*(-9)\\y=5*(-3)\\y=-15

Finally, the value of the number "y" is -15.

2.4x-9 &lt; 1.8x+6 solve the inequality
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

x<25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

2.4x−9<1.8x+6

Step 1: Subtract 1.8x from both sides.

2.4x−9−1.8x<1.8x+6−1.8x

0.6x−9<6

Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.

0.6x−9+9<6+9

0.6x<15

Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.6

0.6x/0.6 < 15/0.6

x<25

Determine what type of model bet fits the given situation: Every day, half a bacteria population dies. A. Linear B.quadratic C.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Starter:</em>

According to the title:

"Every day, half a bacteria population dies."

Exponential: y = ab^x ( b > 0 , b ≠ 1)

So the answer is C.

<em>Calculations:</em>

An exponential model is of the form y = a • b^t.

If you start with population of 500 million bacteria

t = 0

so 500 million = a • b^0 = a

Since every day half the population dies then in 1 day population will be 250 million

so a = 500 million, y = 250 million and t = 1

250 million = 500 million • b^1

b = 0.5

Therefore your equation would be

y = 500 million (or whatever the pop) • 0.5^t

Where t = number of days

This could also be written in exponential form ( e = 2.73)

What do all members of the family of linear functions f(x)=1m(x+3) have in common?
dsp73
All linear functions have in common...
1. Their highest exponent is 1.
2. The graphs of the equations are lines.

When finding things in common between different types of functions, you always have to look at the two sides of math; geometry and algebra. Geometry is all the graphs, and algebra is the equations.

I hope this helps!
