Answer:

x ≈ 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given amount = A = 500 mg

Decay rate = r = 10% per year

Remaining amount = L = 295.25 mg

The formula to calculate remaining amount after x years decay =

L = A((100-r)/100)^x

By putting values in this formula, we get

295.25 = 500 ((100-10)/10)^x

295.25 = 500 (0.90)^x

295.25/500 = 0.90^x

0.5905 = 0.90^x

0.90^x =0.5905

taking log on both sides

ln(0.90^x) =ln(0.5905)

x*ln(0.90) =ln(0.5905) using property of log

x = ln(0.5905)/ln(0.90)

x = 4.9984

x ≈ 5 years

$f(x) = \frac{2x + 3}{4x + 5} \\$

For $f(-9)$ , put " $-9$ " for every value of " $x$ ".

$↬f( - 9) = \frac{2( - 9) + 3}{4( - 9) + 5}\\$

$↬ f(-9) = \frac{ - 18 + 3}{ - 36 + 5} \\$

$↬ f(-9) = \frac{ - 15}{ - 31}\\$

$↬ f(-9)= \frac{15}{31}\\$

$↬f(-9)= 0.48\\$

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function shown on the graph? Express your answer in decimal form. Round to the

allsm [11]

In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.

In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.

The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.

We can test that using several pair of points.

The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:

[f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)

Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)

[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5

[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5

[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5

Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5

You have a small business making and delivering box lunches. You calculate your average weekly cost y of producing x lunches usi

kogti [31]

250 lunches are produced by the small business in last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

y ⇒ the average cost per week.
x ⇒ the number of lunches produced per week.

The function relating these two factors x and y is given as y = 2.1x + 75

The cost of the last week is y = $600.
The lunches made last week is x = unknown.

To find the value of x :

Substitute y= 600 in the given function,

⇒ 600 = 2.1x + 75

⇒ 2.1x = 600 - 75

⇒ x = 525 / 2.1

⇒ x = 250

Therefore, the lunches prepared last week is 250.
