The table below shows the amount of a radioactive compound remaining after X years Sarah is compiling the data into a lab report
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

  A. the y-intercept of the graph is 900, and as X increases, f(x) approaches 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table can be described by the function ...

  f(x) = 100 +800·2^-x

This is an exponential decay (not a constant-rate decay) from a y-intercept of 900 down to a minimum value of 100 (not zero).

The best description is that of choice A.

Which inequality is true?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C. 5\pi > 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given series of inequalities, the inequality sign determines the final outcome.

A. 4\pi - 2 < 10

4\pi < 12

\pi < 3

Since \pi < 3, then the inequality is false

B. \pi + 9 < 12

\pi < 3

Since \pi < 3, then the inequality is false

c. 5\pi > 15

\pi > 3

Since \pi > 3, then the inequality is true

D. 6 > 2\pi

3 > \pi

Since \pi < 3, then the inequality is false

Thus, the only inequality that is true is option C.
