Answer:

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to use the points (t, P) = (4, 150) and (6, 160) to find the parameters P0 and k in the equation ...

  P(t)=P_0\cdot e^{kt}

We know from the given points that we can write the equation as ...

  P(t)=150\left(\dfrac{160}{150}\right)^{(t-4)/(6-4)}=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{t}{2}-2}\\\\=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\times\left(\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^t

Comparing this to the desired form, we see that ...

  P_0=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\approx 131.836\\\\e^{k}=\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{1/2}\rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}(\ln{16}-\ln{15})\approx 0.0322693

So, the approximate equation for P is ...

  P(t)=131.836\cdote^{0.032t}

And the parameters of interest are ...

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

How to answer this question, please I need steps​
crimeas [40]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations in 2 variables

let x be the number of salads sold and y the number of drinks sold, then the 2 equations are

x + y = 209 → (1)

6.5x + 2y = 836.5 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate y

- 2x - 2y = - 418 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(6.5x - 2x) + (2y - 2y) = (836.5 - 418) ← simplify

4.5x = 418.5 ( divide both sides by 4.5 )

x = 93

The number of salads sold was 93

Please help with 17 and/or 18
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Slope Intercept Form: y=3x+10

Slope: 3

y: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3x=10    Add 3x to both sides. The y has to be isolated.

So it is y=10+3x     So we have to reorder it so y=3x+10
