We need a common denominator before we subtract. Both numbers go into 8. 5/8 stays as 5/8 and 1/2 becomes 4/8

Now we can subtract: 5/8 - 4/8
All we have to do is subtract the numerators (5 - 4) and keep the same denominator.

5 - 4 = 1

The answer is <span>1/8.</span>

The number of leaves that fall off a tree n days after day 1 is given by the function f (n) = 3(2)".

densk [106]

Answer:

A. On the first day, 3 leaves fall.

B. D. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 2 times the number of leaves that fell on the previous day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(n) = 3(2)^n$

Solving (a) The meaning of 3.

3 represents the initial number of leaves (i.e. the first day) and this proved as follows.

On the first day, n = 0.

Substitute 0 for n in $f(n) = 3(2)^n$

$f(0) = 3(2)^0$

$f(0) = 3*1$

$f(0) = 3$

Solving (b) The meaning of 2.

2 represents the rate which leaves fall down.

In (a)

$f(0) = 3$

Take n = 1

Substitute 1 for n in $f(n) = 3(2)^n$

$f(1) = 3(2)^1$

$f(1) = 3*2$

$f(1) = 6$

When f(1) is divided by f(0), the result 2. So, the number of leaves doubles everyday

Alborosie

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x 1 = π , x 2 = 3 π/ 2

y 1 = - 1, y 2 = 2

The Rate of change = ( y 2 - y 1) / ( x 2 - x 1 )=

= [2 -( -1 )] : ( 3 π /2 - π ) = 3 : π/2 = 6 / π <em>≈ 1.91 </em>
