It will be negative 2,cause your equation is already in general form but we can't have a negative on a, so we should changed it on their opposite sign, so 2 will be negative

C and D are mutually exclusive events. Find P(C or D).<br> P(C)= 3/7= P(D)= 4/7<br> P(C or D)

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

$P(C\ or\ D) = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(C) = \frac{3}{7}$

$P(D) = \frac{4}{7}$

Required

$P(C\ or\ D)$

Since the events are mutually exclusive, then:

$P(C\ or\ D) = P(C) + P(D)$

So, we have:

$P(C\ or\ D) = \frac{3}{7} + \frac{4}{7}$

Take LCM

$P(C\ or\ D) = \frac{3+4}{7}$

$P(C\ or\ D) = \frac{7}{7}$

$P(C\ or\ D) = 1$

Find the exponential function that satisfies the given conditions: Initial value = 64, decreasing at a rate of 0.5% per week

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is of the form

$y=ab^x$

where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate. Our initial value is 64. That's easy to plug in. It goes in for a. So the first choice is out. Considering b now...

If the rate is decreasing at .5% per week, this means it still retains a rate of

100% - .5% = 99.5%

which is .995 in decimal form.

b is a rate of decay when it is greater than 0 but less than 1; b is a growth rate when it is greater than 1. .995 is less than 1 so it is a rate of decay. The exponential function is, in terms of t,

$f(t) = 64(.995)^t$
