Answer:
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
Explanation:
If we have a function of the form
then
a = intital amount
b = growth / decay rate factor
x = time interval
If b > 1; then the equation is modelling growth. If b < 0, then the equation is modelling decay.
Now in our case, we have
Here we see that
inital amount = a = 4
b = 1/ 2 < 0, meaning the function is modeling decay
decay factor = b = 1/2
Therefore, the answers are
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost that farmer McHenry assumes to sell his tomatoes at the farmer´s market includes: the gas, the stand and the price tags. The expression is the following:
Total cost = $2,50 + $1 + $0.50
Total cost = $4
Farmer McHenry's revenue depends on the number of tomatoes he sells:
Revenue (t)= Price* t
Revenue (t)= $0.50(t)
To know how many tomatoes, he must sell so that the cost equals his revenue, you must equal both expressions and then find t:
$4=$0.50 (t)
t= $4/$0.50
t= 8
He must sell 8 tomatoes.

Answer:
- 7 pounds of fish
- 18.5 pounds of lobster
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...
4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25
4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify
4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375
x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75
The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.
Okay, so if Chaz has a balance of -52.00, and Willis has a balance of -59.25, this means that Willis is further into debt. Chaz would be correct to say that Willis owes more money to the bank. The further into the negatives your bank account is, the more money you owe. Willis owes the bank 7.25 more than Chaz owes.
