We have been given that an employee shreds 341 pages in 11 minutes of work.
First of all we will divide 341 by 11 to find number of pages shred by employee in one minute.
Now let us multiply 31 by 20 to find number of pages shred by employee in 20 minutes.
Therefore, employee will shred 620 pages in 20 minutes.
The exponential functions change is represented by decay and the percentage rate of decrease is 1.00619%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To determine if the function represents growth or decay, we substitute values to x.
If the values increase with an increase of x, it represents growth.
If the values decrease with an increase of x, it represents decay.
Step 2:
If
If
So as x increases the value of y decreases, so it represents decay.
Step 3:
The percentage rate of change is determined by dividing the difference of two consecutive values by the first value.
The percentage rate of change
Substituting the values, we get
The percentage rate of change .
As the values of y decrease with an increase in x, it is the percent decrease per unit.
