Answer:
5. D
6. C
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Question 5</u>
Lets plug in values of x and y into each equation to see which one works for the entire data set...
y=2x-4
1) Plug in -7 as x and -18 as y:
-18=2(-7)-4
2) Multiply:
-18=-14-4
3) Subtract:
-18=-18
The answers are the same, therefore the correct answer to question 5 is equation D. Keep in mind, you want to check ever single pair of points to make sure it works for all of them, I'm just not going to list that as it would make this answer a lot longer for no reason.
<u>Question 6:</u>
We know that the cost for the boat is $25 as a base price, and also costs an additional $1.30 per day for fuel.
The correct equation is C=25+1.30d, because we are adding 1.3 every single day.
You can see 84.78 as
.
So, you can see the problem as 
First, multiply all the numerators together and all the denominators together.
You end up with 
=33.912

Answer:
a) 600
b) see below
c) 1.26 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The value of y when x=0 is the coefficient of the exponential term:
y = 600·3^(-0) = 600·1 = 600
There were 600 atoms to start.
__
b) see attached for a graph
__
c) The graph shows 150 atoms at t = 1.26, about 1.26 hours after the start of time counting.
If you want to find that value algebraically, substitute for y and solve for x. Logarithms are involved.
150 = 600·3^(-x)
150/600 = 3^(-x)
log(1/4) = -x·log(3)
x = -log(1/4)/log(3) = log(4)/log(3) ≈ 1.2618595
After about 1.26 hours, there were 150 atoms.
