Mathematics

Answer: hope this helps


Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

1.17 + -0.07a + (-3.92a) = 0

Combine like terms: -0.07a + (-3.92a) = -3.99a

1.17 + -3.99a = 0

Solving

1.17 + -3.99a = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.17' to each side of the equation.

1.17 + -1.17 + -3.99a = 0 + -1.17

Combine like terms: 1.17 + -1.17 = 0.00

0.00 + -3.99a = 0 + -1.17

-3.99a = 0 + -1.17

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.17 = -1.17

-3.99a = -1.17

Divide each side by '-3.99'.

a = 0.2932330827

Simplifying

a = 0.2932330827

What is the rate of decay for the function f(x) =2(0.95)^x ( x is on top of the parentheses)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The decay rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a substance is decaying at the rate of r% per hour from the initial value of P for t hours, then the final value of the substance is given by the function  

f(t) = P(1 - \frac{r}{100})^{t} ........... (1)

Comparing this equation with the original equation given as

f(x) = 2(0.95)^{x} ............ (2) we get,

(1 - \frac{r}{100}) = 0.95

⇒ \frac{r}{100} = 0.05

⇒ r = 5%.

Therefore, the decay rate is 5%. (Answer)

As you can see I keep getting questions wrong.... Can you answer the last question?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...

  • all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
  • y is a factor of every exponent

The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

__

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.

  (3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)

  3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)

  3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)

  -5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3

  14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y

  y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution

______

The rules of exponents we used are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  1/a^b = a^-b

You rise 15 feet for every 1000 feet you drive forward, what is the slope?
liberstina [14]
The slope is:  \frac{3}{200} .
________________________________________________________
Note:
________________________________________________________
slope = rise/ run = 15 ft/ 1000 ft ;

          = 15/1000 = (15÷15) / (1000÷15) ;

            =  1/ (200/3) = 1* (3/200) = [tex] \frac{3}{200} [/tex] .
