For every 1/4 metric ton it takes 1/8 hours
then multipling by 8 to make the hours =1
for every 2 metric tons it take 1 hour
so the quotient is 2 metric tons per 1 hour
Answer:
Given the ordered pairs, the exponential growth function would be represented by f(x)=35(1.6)^x.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth functions are represented by the following equation: f(x)=ab^x, where 'a'=initial value; 'b'=rate of growth; 'x'=independent value or time. Given the points, we see that the values of 'x' increase by 1 each time and dividing two 'y' values (35/21.875; 56/35; 89.6/56) gives us a change of 1.6. Rate is the change in y/the change in x, or 1.5/1, which is the value of 'b'. When 'x' is equal to 0, the value of 'y' is 35, so this represents the initial value, or 'a'. Plugging in these values will give us the final equation f(x)=35(1.6)^x.
It helps to imagine the variable a sort of as a unit. Like with 5 minus 12 lemons, it has no bearings on the addition/subtraction here.
Factor out a and subtract.
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the y in the 1st equation with the 2nd equation.
7x + 10(2x + 9) = 36
7x + 20x + 90 = 36
27x + 90 = 36
3x + 10 = 4
3x = -6
x = -2
So now we can find y.
y = 2x + 9 = 2(-2) + 9 = (-4) + 9 = 5.
So x = -2, y = 5.
The question is basically asking what 3.5 x 2.3 is. So the answer would be 8.05. If you read carefully it even tells you “times” I. The question. Hope this helps!!
