1] Given that the value of x has been modeled by f(x)=12500(0.87)^x, then:
the rate of change between years 1 and 5 will be:
rate of change is given by:
[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
thus:
f(1)=12500(0.87)^1=10875
f(5)=12500(0.87)^5=6230.3
rate of change will be:
(6230.3-10875)/(5-1)
=-1161.2
rate of change in years 11 to 15 will be:
f(11)=12500(0.87)^11=2701.6
f(15)=12500(0.87)^15=1,547.74
thus the rate of change will be:
(1547.74-2701.6)/(15-11)
=-288
dividing the two rates of change we get:
-288/-1161.2
-=1/4
comparing the two rate of change we conclude that:
The average rate of change between years 11 and 15 is about 1/4 the rate between years 1 and 5.
The answer is D]
2] Given that the population of beavers decreases exponentially at the rate of 7.5% per year, the monthly rate will be:
monthly rate=(n/12)
where n is the number of months
=7.5/12
=0.625
This is approximately equal to 0.65%. The correct answer is A. 0.65%
Answer:
y = 5x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with y = mx + b: general slope-intercept form, equation of a line:
Replace m with 5, y with 8 and x with 0 (since the y-intercept is (0, 8):
8 = 5(0) + b. Then b must be 8, and the desired equation is
y = 5x + 8
AB = BC
3x-4=5x-10
-4=2x-10
6=2x
3=x
AB = 3x-4
AB = 3 (3)-4
AB = 9-4
AB =5
Therefore, AB is 5.
BC = 5x-10
BC = 5(3)-10
BC = 15-10
BC= 5
Answer:
1.58 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
A+30 = 60
a = 30
a + 2b = 60
30+2b = 60
2b = 30
b = 15
5b - 5c = 60
5(15) - 5c = 60
5c = 15
c = 3
10c + d = 60
10(3) + d = 60
30 + d = 60
d = 30
2d + 6e = 180 - 60
2(30) + 6e = 120
6e = 60
e = 10
4f + 4e = 120
4f + 4(10) = 120
4f = 80
f = 20
