<span>Using processing software (Excel) or even a decent scientific calculator. You input the values and generate the best fit cubic equation.
For number 1, the equation is
y = 8x10</span>⁻⁵ x³ - 0.0097 x² + 0.374 x + 1.083
where x is the number of years since 1900
y is the pounds cheese consumed

For number 2, the equation is
y = -3x10⁻⁵ x³ + 0.0028 x² + 0.2155 x + 1.7736

For number 3
P(-1) = 18

How does the graph of the function g(x)=2^x-4 differ from the graph of f(x)=2^x
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) moved down 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a function by a constant:

Subtracting a function by a constant x is the same as moving the function down x units.

In this question:

f(x) = 2^x

g(x) = 2^x - 4

Thus, the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) moved down 4 units.

loris [4]

Answer:  1) D

2) C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The blue algae has an initial mass of 20 kg and doubles its mass every hour. Then after t hours, the mass of blue algae is

2. The green algae has an initial mass of 160 kg and grows at a constant rate of 0.20 kg per minute. Then after t hours (60t minutes), the mass of green algae is

Part I) At t=3:

The mass of green algae has 196-160=36 kg more mass at 3 hours.

Part II) At t=4:

The blue algae has 320-208=112 kg more mass at 4 hours.

Someone please help me
Anika [276]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{y} = \frac{y-x}{xy} ← as a single fraction

Thus

\frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{\frac{y-x}{xy} } = \frac{xy}{y-x} → A
