Suppose that the exponential growth function is y = 4^x.
If x = 1, then y = 4^1 = 4.
If x = 3, then y = 4^3 = 64.
Let the initial value be 1/2.
The growth function is now y = 1/2 * 4^x.
If x =1, then y = 2 which is half of the y value before adding the 1/2.
If x = 3, then y = 1/2 * 64 = 32.
Answer: 1/2
Answer:
n ≤ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we add 14 to both sides. This gets us 5n ≤ 25. Next, we divide both sides by 5. This gets us n ≤ 5. I hope this helps!
Answer: 2 bookcases.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the number of bookcases that the custodian will be able to repaint completly with 5 gallons of paint.
According to the data given, the custodian needs 2 gallons of paint to repaint one bookcase. Since all the bookcases are equal, you can set up the following proportion:

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value:

Notice that the custodian will be able to repaint 2 bookcases completely, then you can say that:

The pattern is n-3, so we will start from the beginning, from 1.
7, 4, 1, -2, -5, -8, -11, -14, -17, -20, -23, -26, -29, -32, -35, -38, -41, -44.
-44 is the 18th term in the sequence.
