It is the second function:
y=(1/2)^(x-3)
When x=0, the exponent is -3. (1/2)^-3 is 8.
y = 8+1 = 9
Answer:
It will take about 7.3 years for his money to triple.
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the variables in the formula.
A = 150,000
P = 50,000
r = 0.15
t = ?
A = Pe^rt
Substitute the values into the formula.
150,000 = 50,000e^0.15*t
Solve for t. Divide each side by 50,000.
3 = e^0.15*t
Take the natural log of each side.
ln 3 = ln e^0.15*t
Use the power property and then simplify.
ln 3 = 0.15*t ln e
ln 3 = 0.15-t
Divide each side by 0.15.
(ln 3)
/(0.15) = t
Approximate the answer.
t ≈ 7.3
Sure thing!
So if we look at the function, it is an exponential, meaning that it is a number to the power of x
The graph can be described by the equation
y = a^x
If we look at the graph, one of the points on the line is (2, 16), the x value is 2 and the y value is 16
If we consider this along with the function for the graph, we can say that
16 = a^2
Just solve this for a and you’ll have your answer :)
Answer:
A) (-8, -16)
B) (0, 48)
C) (-4, 0), (-12, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
A) the vertex is the minimum y value.
extremes of a function we get by using the first derivation and solving it for y' = 0.
y = x² + 16x + 48
y' = 2x + 16 = 0
2x = -16
x = -8
so, the vertex is at x=-8.
the y value is (-8)² + 16(-8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16
B) is totally simple. it is f(0) or x=0. so, y is 48.
C) is the solution of the equation for y = 0.
the solution for such a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)
in our case here
a=1
b=16
c=48
x = (-16 ± sqrt(16² - 4×48)) / 2 = (-16 ± sqrt(256-192)) / 2 =
= (-16 ± sqrt(64)) / 2 = (-16 ± 8) / 2 = (-8 ± 4)
x1 = -8 + 4 = -4
x2 = -8 - 4 = -12
so the x- intercepts are (-4, 0), (-12, 0)
