Student council expects $150 students for a dance and spends $10 on food for each student. The council expects the number of stu

dents to increase by 8% each year for the next 5 years and wants to reduce the amount of money spent on food by 4% for each student each year.
Use the drop-down menus to choose or create functions to model:


A. The predicted number of students over time, S(t)

B. The predicted amount spent per student over time,A(t)

C. The predicted total expense for food each year over time, E(t)

Answer:

A) S(t)=150(1.08)^{t-1} B) A(t)=10(0.96)^{t-1}

C) If\:t = 1\\E(t)=150\times10\\ \\If\:t >1\\E(t)=150(1.08)^{t-1}\times10(0.96)^{t-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that The Student Council expects to 150 students for a dance, and spends $10 per student.

If the expectancy is that the number of students increases by  8%

Then since the growth is 8%

we can write the the Predicted Number of Students as a Geometric Sequence,

A.

a_{1}=150\\a_{2}=150\times 1.08 =162\\a_{3}=162\times 1.08= 174.96\approx 175\\a_{4}=175\times1.08=189\\a_{5}=189\times 1.08=204.12\approx 204\\

Therefore,

S(t)=150(1.08)^{t-1}

B) If we spend $10 per student on the 1st year, but the Council wants to reduce the expenditure 4% yearly. Since we want to reduce 4% we must multiply by 96%.

b_{1}=10\\b_{2}=10*(0.96)=9.6\\b_{3}=9.6*(0.96)=9.22\\b_{4}=9.22*(0.96)=8.85\\b_{5}=8.85*(0.96)=8.50

Therefore we can write:

A(t)=10(0.96)^{t-1}

C)

The total expenditure for food must be reduced, by 4%. As long as the public goes increasing by 8% yearly this

So,

If\:t = 1\\E(t)=150\times10\\ \\If\:t >1\\E(t)=150(1.08)^{t-1}\times10(0.96)^{t-1}

Find the slope of the line that passes through the ordered pairs (3,5) and (-3,-5)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to find the slope of the line with the given points.

To find the slope, we would use the slope equation: m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Plug in the coordinates and solve:

-5 - 5/-3 - 3

-10/-6

Simplify further while canceling out the negative.

5/3

The slope of the line would be 5/3

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Should be 1 if im not wrong Then Mark Me brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

a negative times a neg equals a posative

Neg x pos = neg

pos x neg = neg

pos x pos = pos

neg x neg = pos

so if there greater then over neg<, >,=

You would look at the problem for given f(x)=

x → -1 and neg times neg more or less

-1 x -1 = 1
