padilas [110]

Answer:

C. When the survey was initially conducted average sales of smartphones was 1.7 millions units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the average annual sales of smartphones, in million units, n years after the survey is conducted is modeled by function $p(n)=1.7\cdot b^n$ , where the parameter b is an unknown positive base.

We are asked to find the true statement about our given function.

A. If b= 1.45, the annual growth rate of the sales of smartphones is 145%.

Since we know that b equals (1+r) for growth function, where r is in decimal form.

If b=1.45, it means that the annual growth rate will be 45% as 0.45 is decimal form of 45%, therefore, statement A is not true.

B. If b= 1.02, annual sales of smartphones will double in 2 years.

If b=1.02, it means that the annual growth rate will be 2% as 0.02 is decimal form of 2%, therefore, statement B is not true.

C. When the survey was initially conducted average sales of smartphones was 1.7 millions units.

Since we know that an exponential function is in form $y=a*b^x$ , where a in initial value of function. We can see from our given function that a equals 1.7, therefore option C is a true statement.

D. The average sales of smartphones increases by 1.7 millions units every year.

Since our function is not a linear function, instead it is an exponential function, so rate of change can not be constant.

Therefore, option D is not true regarding our given function.

Someone help me with this geometry homework !!!!!! 10 points!

Reil [10]

Answer: 3a = (0, 1) 3b = (2, 1) 3c = (2.5, 1) 3d = (1.6, 1)

4a = (2, 3.5) 4b = (2, 3) 4c = (2, 5.375)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of AB is 6 and is horizontal (affects the x-coordinate)

$3a)\quad 6\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)\quad =3\qquad \qquad A(-2, 1) +(3, 0)= C(1,1)\\\\\\3b)\quad 6\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)\quad =4\qquad \qquad A(-2, 1) +(4,0)= C(2,1)\\\\\\3c)\quad 6\bigg(\dfrac{3}{4}\bigg)\quad =\dfrac{9}{2}\qquad \qquad A(-2, 1) +(4.5,0)= C(2.5,1)$

$3d)\quad 6\bigg(\dfrac{3}{5}\bigg)\quad =\dfrac{18}{5}\qquad \qquad A(-2, 1) +(3.6,0)= C(1.6,1)$

***********************************************************************************

The length of AB is 5 and is vertical (affects the y-coordinate)

$4a)\quad 5\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)\quad =\dfrac{5}{2}\qquad \qquad A(2, 1) +(0,2.5)= C(2,3.5)\\\\\\4b)\quad 5\bigg(\dfrac{2}{5}\bigg)\quad =2\qquad \qquad A(2, 1) +(0,2)= C(2,3)\\\\\\4c)\quad 5\bigg(\dfrac{7}{8}\bigg)\quad =\dfrac{35}{8}\qquad \qquad A(2, 1) +(0,4.375)= C(2,5.375)$

Arian is making bracelets. For each bracelet, it takes 1/10 of hour to pick out materials and 1/4 hour to braid it together. How

-Dominant- [34]

Change everything into 10ths as follows:

1/10 + 2.5/10 = 3.5/10 of an hour to make one bracelet. Then change to 20ths so the numerator is a whole number.
Divide your time available by the time it takes to make one.

21
4 = 420= 15 bracelets
7 28
20

(as a whole number there was no fraction or remainder to round off)

What is the simplified expression for,

Nostrana [21]

Here are a few rules you need to know for this equation:

Multiplying exponents of the same base: $x^m\times x^n=x^{m+n}$
Dividing exponents of the same base: $\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$
Turning a negative exponent to a positive one: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m};\frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$
