Answer:
1/40
219/250
69/16
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
0.025=(025)/(1000)=1/40
2.
0.876=876/1000=219/250
3.
4.3125=43125/10000=1725/400=69/16
The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:
if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.
Now we need to classify each of the functions:
1.
The function
can be wrtten as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.
2.
The function
can be written as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.
3.
The function
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.
So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
Let's convert this fraction to an equal fraction which holds a denominator of 100, since it is a power of 10.
Since the denominator can be multiplied by 5 to achieve 100, we can multiply the entire fraction by 5 to create an equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 100:
17/20 = (17*5)/(20*5) = 85/100
To obtain a decimal from this fraction, take the numerator and move its decimal one place to the left for every 0 in the denominator. Since our denominator has two zeros, we will need to move the decimal place on the 85 two places to the left.
This gives us an answer of .85, which can also be expressed as 0.85.
The answer is for the problem is 500
