Answer:

C(t)=5\cdot(0.9)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.

An exponential decaying function is expressed as:

C(t)=C_o\cdot(1-r)^t

Where:

C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t

Co is the initial value of C at t=0

r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal

The concentration of the pollutants starts at Co=5 mg/lt. We also know the pollutant reduces its concentration by 10% each hour. This gives us a value of r = 10% / 100 = 0.1

Substituting into the general equation:

C(t)=5\cdot(1-0.1)^t

Operating:

\boxed{C(t)=5\cdot(0.9)^t}

Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+y = 7

-2x +y = -3

Solve the second equation for y by adding 2x to each side

-2x+2x +y = -3+2x

y = -3 +2x

Substitute into the first equation

3x+ (-3+2x) = 7

Combine like terms

5x -3 = 7

Add 3 to each side

5x-3+3 = 7+3

5x = 10

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x=2

Now we need to solve for y

y = -3 +2x

y = -3 +2(2)

y = -3+4

y =1

Using the work I’ve done so far as reference, show that neither triangle is a vector translation of the other. Draw a diagram.
notsponge [240]

When we move the triangle RPQ horizontally or vertically or side ways, the triangle will not coincide with the triangle KLM.

Similarly, if we move the triangle KLM horizontally or vertically or side ways, the triangle will not coincide with the triangle RPQ.

Hence, both the triangles are not vector translations of each other.

The scale factor of the dilation of segment HG is 1/6
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of the dilation of segment HG is \frac{1}{6}.

Now, PG' = 0.5 units

As per the rule of scale factor:

\frac{PG'}{PG} =SF=\frac{1}{6}, where SF represents the scale factor.

Solving for PG, we get:

PG=PG' \times 6=0.5 \times 6=3.0

Therefore, the length of the segment PG is 3 units.
