Identifiy the initial amount a and the decay factor b in the exponential function y=5×0.5^×

Mathematics
1 answer:
xenn [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a=5\\ \\b=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential decay function y=5\cdot (0.5)^x

When x=0, then

y=5\cdot (0.5)^0=5\cdot 1=5,

so the initial amount is a=5

The exponential decay function y=a\cdot b^x has the decay factor b.

In your case, the eexponential decay factor is b=0.5

Rylee shopped at a clothing store, where she spent $36.50 plus 8% tax. Then, she spent $25 to refuel her car at the gas station.
inn [45]

Answer: The net change to her banking account balance is $83.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

She spent $36.50 plus 8% tax.  ( to calculate the tax amount we have to multiply the cost by the percentage in decimal form)

36.50 x (8/100) =$2.92 (value of tax)

Adding to the original cost

36.50+2.92 = $39.42

Then, she spent $25 to refuel her car at the gas station.

39.42 +25 = $64.42

She bought groceries worth $23.50. At the grocery checkout, she handed over a coupon for a 20% discount on her purchase

23.50 x (20/100) = 4.7 (amount of discount)

Subtracting to the purchase

23.50 -4.7= $18.8

Finally, adding to the total cost.

64.42 +18.8 = $83.22

Arnold skydives out of an airplane with a parachute. After he opened his parachute Arnold descended at 70feet per second. An obs
vivado [14]

Answer:

Arnold descended a distance of 5,250 ft after his parachute opened

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to know the distance Arnold descended after his parachute opened.

Mathematically, we know that distance = speed * time

In this case;

The speed is the rate at which he descended = 70 ft per second

Now the time is 1 minute and 15 seconds; since 1 minute is 60 seconds, then 1 minute and 15 seconds is 60 + 15 = 75 seconds

So what we are saying is he descended at a rate of 70 ft per second for 75 seconds

Thus, his distance of descent will be 70 ft per second * 75 seconds = 5,250 ft
