Step-by-step answer:
The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in
f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x
The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely
f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)
Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x
we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get
f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x
f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037
Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function
f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)
1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.
Answer:
y = 54
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the sum of the angles of a triangle are 180
72+y+y = 180
Combine like terms
72 + 2y = 180
Subtract 72 from each side
72-72 +2y = 180-72
2y = 108
Divide each side by 2
2y/2 = 108/2
y = 54
Answer:
5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The rate at which Leonard bought was 2 packs per x dollars,
that is his buying rate was (2 packs)/(x dollars)=2/x (p/$)
2.
with 1 $ Leonard buys 2/x packs
then
with 5 $ Leonard buys (2/x)*5 = 10/x packs.
Answer: 10/x packs
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the b value (the value inside the parentheses) is less than 1, it represents exponential decay.
