Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call y the number of patients treated each week
Let's call x the week number.
If the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear then the equation that models this situation will have the following form:
Where m is the slope of the equation and b is the intercept with the x-axis.
If we know two points on the line then we can find the values of m and b.
We know that During week 5 of flu season, the clinic saw 90 patients, then we have the point:
(5, 90)
We know that In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 60 patients, then we have the point:
(10, 60).
Then we can find m and b using the followings formulas:
and
In this case: and
Then:
And
Finally the function that shows the number of patients seen each week at the clinic is:
Answers with Explanation.
i. If we raise a number to an exponent of 1, we get the same number.
ii. If we raise 10 to an exponent of 2, it means we multiply 10 by itself two times.
iii. If we raise 10 to an exponent of 3, it means we multiply 10 by itself three times.
iv. If we raise 10 to an exponent of 4, it means we multiply 10 by itself four times.
v. If we raise 10 to an exponent of 5, it means we multiply 10 by itself five times.
vi. Recall that,
We apply this law of exponents to obtain,
vii. We apply
again to obtain,
