In a police on the interstate, the suspect's car reached a speed of 88 miles per hour for the total 15 minutes. In the time, how

many miles did the chase last? If the rate is in miles per hour, then the time must be in hours.

As always, distance = rate times time. Here, distance is unknown, but we have the speed 88 mph and the time 0.25 hour. Thus,

distance traveled during chase = (88 mph)(0.25 hr) = 22 miles.

→ The answer is: " 22 mi."

____________________________________________

→ {that is: " 22 miles " .} .

Explanation:

→ $\frac{88 mi}{1 h} * \frac{1 h}{60 min} * \frac{15min}{1} = \frac{88*15}{60}$ mi.

→ The 15 cancels to "1" and the "60" cancels to "4" ,

{since: " $\frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}$ " }.

→ And we have: " $\frac{88}{4}$ " mi. ;

→ " $\frac{88}{4}$ " mi. = " {88 ÷ 4} " mi. = " 22 mi. " .

→ The answer is: " 22 mi."

What is the decay factor of the exponential function<br> represented by the table?

bulgar [2K]

Given:

The table of values of an exponential function.

To find:

The decay factor of the exponential function.

Solution:

The general form of an exponential function is:

$y=ab^x$ ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and $0$ is the decay factor and $b>1$ is the growth factor.

The exponential function passes through the point (0,6). Substituting $x=0,y=6$ in (i), we get

$6=ab^0$

$6=a(1)$

$6=a$

The exponential function passes through the point (1,2). Substituting $x=1,y=2,a=6$ in (i), we get

$2=6(b)^1$

$2=6b$

$\dfrac{2}{6}=b$

$\dfrac{1}{3}=b$

Here, $b=\dfrac{1}{3}$ lies between 0 and 1. Therefore, the decay factor of the given exponential function is $\dfrac{1}{3}$ .

Hence, the correct option is A.
