Which expression represents exponential decay
1 answer:
Given:
The exponential equations in the options.
To find:
The equation which represents exponential decay.
Solution:
The general exponential equation is
where, a is initial value and b is growth rate.
If b<1, then it is an equation of exponential decay.
If b>1, then it is an equation of exponential growth.
In option A, b=31>1, i.e., exponential growth.
In option B, b=3.1>1, i.e., exponential growth.
In option C, b=0.13<1, i.e., exponential decay.
In option D, b=1.03>1, i.e., exponential growth.
Only represents exponential decay.
Therefore, the correct option is C.

The histogram representing the data is attcwhwd in the picture below.
Answer:
C On exactly 25% of these days, Shane drank 3 to 4 glasses of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of 8 - ounce glasses is represented on the x - axis and the number of days on the y - axis.
From the histogram ;
Shane drank 1 - 2 glasses on exactly 1 day
Shane drank 3 - 4 glasses on exactly 3 days
Shane drank 5 - 6 glasses on exactly 6 day
Total number of days = 12
60% of 12 = 7.2
On exactly 60% of the days, which is 7.2 days, number of glasses drunk isn't covered by the histogram
25% of 12 ; 0.25 * 12 = 3 days
From the histogram, number of glasses consumed is 3 - 4 glasses ; which is the only true statement about the histogram in the options given.
