Answer:

y

=

4

(

1

2

)

x

Explanation:

An exponential function is in the general form

y

=

a

(

b

)

x

We know the points

(

−

1

,

8

)

and

(

1

,

2

)

, so the following are true:

8

=

a

(

b

−

1

)

=

a

b

2

=

a

(

b

1

)

=

a

b

Multiply both sides of the first equation by

b

to find that

8

b

=

a

Plug this into the second equation and solve for

b

:

2

=

(

8

b

)

b

2

=

8

b

2

b

2

=

1

4

b

=

±

1

2

Two equations seem to be possible here. Plug both values of

b

into the either equation to find

a

. I'll use the second equation for simpler algebra.

If

b

=

1

2

:

2

=

a

(

1

2

)

a

=

4

Giving us the equation:

y

=

4

(

1

2

)

x

If

b

=

−

1

2

:

2

=

a

(

−

1

2

)

a

=

−

4

Giving us the equation:

y

=

−

4

(

−

1

2

)

x

However! In an exponential function,

b

>

0

, otherwise many issues arise when trying to graph the function.

The only valid function is

y

=

4

(

1

2

)

x

After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing. What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Percentage loss of the number of trees is 25\%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing.

To find: What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?

Solution:

We have,

Total number of trees =180

Number of trees left standing =135

Therefore, loss of trees=180-135=45

We now that \text {Loss\%}=\frac{\text{Number of trees left}}{\text{Total number of trees}}\times 100 \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{45}{180}\times 100 \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{450}{18} \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=25 \%

Hence, the percentage loss of the number of trees is 25\%.

1.) The numbers 1-12 are written on a card and placed in a bag. What is the probability that a number divisible by 3 is drawn? E
Pepsi [2]

<span>1.) In numbers from 1 to 12, there are  4 numbers that are divisible by 3 (3,6,9 and 12), meaning there will be 4 possible outcomes if a number will be drawn from 12 numbers. The probability of drawing a number divisible by 3 is 4/12 or 1/3.

2.) In the movie drawer, there are 15 movies,  seven are action movies, five comedies, and three dramas. The probability of choosing an action movie is 7/15, while a comedy is 5/15. The probability of choosing an action or a comedy is higher at (7/15+5/15) or 12/15 equivalent to 4/5.
3.) Having drawn 8 black marbles and 2 white marbles from a bag of 100 marbles give a probability of 8/10 (4/5) for black marbles and 2/10 (1/5) for white marbles. If there are 100 marbles, we can predict that there are 4/5(100) equivalent to 80 marbles in the bag.</span>

<span>
4.) On a youth soccer team, three out of 12 team members have played in previous years. Based on this information, if 180 kids are in the youth soccer league, then the number of members who could be expected to have played the year before is 3/12 or ¼ of 180 which is 45. </span>

Mia invests $5,000 in an index fund. After 1 year, the fund's share price has increased by 8%. How much did Mia gain?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: In the end, she has $5400 in total, so she must gain $400 on her investment.

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is 0.08 >>> add 1 to it = 1.08

5000*1.08 = 5400

or the other way to do this is 5000*0.08 = 400 and then 5000+400=5400

Hope this helps!
