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.

Part 1: The equation of the line is y=2x+1

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y=-3x-1

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is (1,3) and the line B is y=2 x-2

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is m=2

Substituting the point (1,3) and m=2 in slope intercept form y=mx+b, we have,

3=2(1)+b

3=2+b

1=b

Thus, the y-intercept is b=1

Let us substitute the values m=2 and b=1 in the slope intercept form y=mx+b, we get,

y=2x+1

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is y=2x+1

Part 2: The given two coordinates are (-1,2) and (1,-4)

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is b=-1

The formula for slope is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Substituting the coordinates (-1,2) and (1,-4), we have,

m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3

Thus, the slope is m=-3

Substituting the values b=-1 and m=-3 in the slope intercept formula y=mx+b, we get,

y=-3x-1

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is y=-3x-1

At smith lake boat rentals it costs $25 per hour to rent a boat plus one time charge for cleaning. The bengal family rented a bo
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: the Jones family paid $164

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the one time charge that smith lake boat rentals charge for cleaning.

The bengal family rented a boat from 11 am- 6:30pm and paid $226.50. This means that the number of hours for which they rented the boat is

11 - 6:30/= 7.5 hours

Therefore,

25 × 7.5 + x = 226.5

187.5 + x = 226.5

x = 226.5 - 187.5

x = $39

If the jones family rented a boat from 8am-1pm, the number of hours would be 5 hours.

The amount that they paid is

39 + 5 × 25 = 39 + 125

= $164
