Write and solve a real world problem where the percentage of a number is greater than the number itself.

1 answer:

6 0

Hmm, this is kinda tough so I will use a basic problem. Let's take apples as our example. Assuming by percent you mean the percent number and not if you convert the percent to a number which will usually be a decimal less than 1 btw, then the percent number can be greater than the number easily. If I was eating 10 apples but I was really hungry and I wanted to eat 5 more. I would have eaten how much % more? I would have eaten 50 % more. This is because 50% 10 is 5. The number 50 is certainly bigger than 10 or 5. I hope I answered what you meant :-)

Which ordered pairs lie on the graph of the exponential function f(x)=-3^2x+5

Shtirlitz [24]

You don't really know where the x is. The way you have written it, technically its like this. (-3^2)*x and none of the answers agree with that.

It must be -3^(2x) + 5 In that case 0,4 works. That gives (-3)^0 = -1
-1 + 5 = 4
Unfortunately so does 1,-4 because -3^2 = - 9
- 9 + 5 = - 4

If (-2,76) is the answer, then the question should be written (-3)^(2x) - 5

Until the ambiguity is gone, we're not sure.
