<em>Answer</em>
B) y = 3
<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>
Given the system of equations:
Isolating x from equation 1:
Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:
Answer:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Explanation:
An exponential function is in the general form
y
=
a
(
b
)
x
We know the points
(
−
1
,
8
)
and
(
1
,
2
)
, so the following are true:
8
=
a
(
b
−
1
)
=
a
b
2
=
a
(
b
1
)
=
a
b
Multiply both sides of the first equation by
b
to find that
8
b
=
a
Plug this into the second equation and solve for
b
:
2
=
(
8
b
)
b
2
=
8
b
2
b
2
=

b
=
±
1
2
Two equations seem to be possible here. Plug both values of
b
into the either equation to find
a
. I'll use the second equation for simpler algebra.
If
b
=
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
1
2
)
a
=
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
If
b
=
−
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
−
1
2
)
a
=
−
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
−
4
(
−
1
2
)
x
However! In an exponential function,
b
>
0
, otherwise many issues arise when trying to graph the function.
The only valid function is
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Answer:
6°F
58°F
Step-by-step explanation:
From the data Given :
Temperature rise in Buffalo by noon time = 14°F
The initial temperature at Buffalo = - 8°F
Rise in temperature = 14°F
Therefore, temperature at noon = (-8 + 14)°F = 6°F
B.)
Temperature at 6am in St. Louis = 32°F
Temperature at 6am in Juneau = - 26°F
Temperature difference :
(32 - (-26))°F
32 + 26
= 58°F
Temperature in St. Louis is 58°F higher
Answer:
t represents the time in minutes since the balloon started descending.
a(t) represents the altitude of the balloon at t minutes.
a(5.5) gives the altitude at 5.5 minutes.
