Answer: first choice, exponential, because there is a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change.

Explanation:

1) I have attached the figure with the data table that represents the temperature of a cup of coffee over time.

These are the data:

Time (min) ------ Temperature (°F)

0 ----------------------- 200

10 ---------------------- 180

20 --------------------- 163

30 --------------------- 146

40 ---------------------131

50 -------------------- 118

60 -------------------- 107

2) Since, the increase in time is constant, while the decrease in temperaute is not, you know that it is not linear.

3) The other two options involve exponential models.

The exponential models have a constant multiplicative rate of change, not additive. Therefore, the only feasible choice is the first one: temperature of a cup of coffee over time.

4) You can prove it:

i) Exponential models have the general form y = A [r]ˣ, where B is r is the multiplicative rate of change: any value is equal to the prior value multiplied by r:

y₁ = A [r]¹

y₂ = A[r]²

y₂ / y1 = r ← as you see this is the constant multiplicative rate of change.

ii) Test some data:

180 / 200 = 0.9

163 / 180 ≈ 0.906 ≈ 0.9

146 / 163 ≈ 0.896 ≈ 0.9

131 / 146 ≈ 0.897 ≈ 0.9

118 / 131 ≈ 0.901 ≈ 0.9

107 / 118 ≈ 0.907 ≈ 0.9

As you see all the data of the table have a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change, which proves that the temperature follows an exponential decay; so the right choice is the first one.

Help if your good at maths
tekilochka [14]

Let's make another angle y

Where y= 51° (corresponding angles )

and x+y= 180°. ( linear pair )

x+51°= 180° (y=51°)

x=180°-51°

x= 129°

<u>So the value of x is 129</u>°

Hope you got your answer !

Examine the table below showing the merchandising sales and answer the questions that follow.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The mean amount spent = £14.80

The modal product is hoodies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

25 T shirts each costing £10 were purchased

Amount spent on T shirts = 25 × 10 = £250

30 key ring of £5 were purchased

Amount spent on key ring = 30 × 5 = £150

40 Hoodies for £25 each

Amount spent on Hoodies = 40 × 25 =£1000

30 CD's for £15 each

Amount spent on CD's = 30 ×15 = £450

Total amount spent = 250 +150 + 1000 + 450 = £1850

Total items purchased = 25 + 30 + 40 + 30 = 125

Mean amount spent = \frac{1850}{125}= 14.80

The modal product is Hoodies as the maximum number of hoodies were purchased.
