Step-by-step answer:
The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in
f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x
The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely
f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)
Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x
we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get
f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x
f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037
Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function
f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)
1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.
You just have to multiply straight across. Multiply the numerators for the new numerator, and the denominators for the new denominator.
5*3=15
4*8=32
15/32 is the answer (b).
Answer:
116
Step-by-step explanation:
36+28=64
180-64=116
Answer
6 is the nearest tenth it did not say ten it said ten-th
(We know this from a=1/9 and r=3)
Simplifying this, we get:
Since we're finding the first term that exceeds 1000, let's set it equal to 1000.
Multiplying both sides by 27
n≈9.2
We have to round n up, since if n=9, the value would be <1000.
Therefore n=10. Substituting n=10,
=2187
Therefore the first term that exceeds 1000 is 2187, and it is the 10th term
