Does the table represent an exponential function?

1 answer:

5 0

Yes this is an exponential function. One way we can determine this is to notice how each y term is multiplied by 6 to get the next y term

example: -2 times 6 = -12

another example: -12 times 6 = -72

The exponential function that models this data is y = -2*6^(x-1). Note how plugging in x = 1 leads to y = -2. Plugging in x = 2 leads to y = -12, and so on.

Honey and Money are twin brothers. Mother wants to equally divide a rectangular shaped cake of 5cm wide and 6cm long. Find the l

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Length of rectangular cake = 5 cm

Breadth of rectangular cake = 6 cm

Area of rectangle = 5 cm × 6 cm =30 cm²

If cake is equally distributed between Honey and Money, then areas of two parts should be equal.

So, Amount of cake that Honey and money got $\frac{30}{2}=15$

Share of each (Honey and Money)=15 cm²

So, if the third cake if it was cut diagonally ,the cake must have some height.

Let the height of cake be H.

So, Height of third cake $=\sqrt{L^2+B^2+H^2}\\\\=\sqrt{5^2+6^2+H^2}\\\\=\sqrt{61+H^2}$

If , H=0 that is height is negligible having 0 thickness,

Then the Length of third cake, which is divided into two parts=√61=7.81 cm

A landscape business charges $50 to deliver rocks. The cost of the rocks are $27 per cubic yard. write and solve a linear equati

Nuetrik [128]

<h2>Answer: 27x + 50 = y, $266</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's form a linear equation that will help us find out how much that will cost.

Let's set x = the cubic yards of rocks delivered and y = total cost.

First, we know that the business charges 27 dollars for every x that you buy. That can be shown with a multiplication expression:

27x

Next, we know that the business charges a fixed fee of $50 for their services. This fee would be <em>added on</em> to the amount that they charge for the rocks that you buy.

That's our linear expression! Next, we need to find out the <em>total cost</em>, y, when you need 8 cubic yards of rocks delivered, x.

To solve this, we need to substitute values for at least one of our variables.

Since 8 describes the cubic yards of rocks delivered, we can substitute 8 for x.

But we don't know y, the total cost- that's what we're solving for! In other words, we're solving for y.

Let's just substitute in what we know:

27(8) + 50 = y.

216 + 50 = y

So, we know that it would cost $266 dollars to have 8 cubic yards of rocks delivered to a site.

By the way, you can also graph your linear equation to find the corresponding y-value to 8 as another way to solve your problem.
