Maru [420]

Answer:

$y(t) = 3e^{-4t}+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y(t) = Ce^{-4t}+7$

At <em>y</em>(0) = 10, when <em>t</em> = 0, <em>y</em> = 10.

$y(0) = 10 = Ce^{-4\times0}+7$

$10 = C+7$

$C = 3$

Hence, the solution is

$y(t) = 3e^{-4t}+7$

Please help me with this

Answer:

Yes;Each side of triangle PQR is the same length as the corresponding side of triangle STU

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe the sides of both triangles to see if this property holds

Lets check the length of AB

A(0,3) and B(0,-1)

$AB=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-1-3)^2} \\\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{0^2+-4^2} \\\\\\AB=\sqrt{16} =4units$

Now check the length of the corresponding side DE

D(1,2) and E(1,-2)

$DE=\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(-2-2)^2} \\\\\\DE=\sqrt{0^2+-4^2} \\\\\\DE=\sqrt{16} =4units$

The side AB has the same length as side DE.This is also true for the remaining corresponding sides.

If a(x) = 2x - 4 and b(x) = x + 2, which of the following expressions produces a quadratic function

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying a(x) and b(x) together results in a quadratic equation (a trinomial). This trinomial looks like (a·b)(x) = (2)(x - 2)(x + 2). Note that this is a "special product;" (2)(x^2 - 4); there is no middle term.

Mrs.Cheng has $18 deducted monthly from checking account for her gym membership. What integer represents the change in her accou

Vikki [24]

First you would have to multiply $18 (The cost for each month) and 12 (the number of months in a year) and the answer would be 216
So she deducts 216 a year, so the answer would have to be negative

The final answer is -216
