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.
A)
Kim's age=k
Sister's age=s
k=2s
k+s=36
b)
k=2s
k+s=36
k=36-s
2s=36-s
3s=36
s=12
12*2=24
Kim is 24 and her sister is 12
Hope this helps :)
A/2-b/3=1 solve for a, add b/3 to both sides
a/2=1+b/3 which is equal to
a/2=(3+b)/3 multiply both sides by 2
a=(6+2b)/3 now you can substitute this into 2a+3b giving you:
2(6+2b)/3 + 3b which is equal to
(12+4b+9b)/3
(13b+12)/3
Answer:
x=7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
13x-17x+7=0
-4x+7=0
-4x+7-7=0-7
-4x=-7
-4x/-4=-7/-4
x=7/4
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
No, because 8 - 1 ≠ 27 - 8. So, there is no common difference which is needed in order for the sequence to be arithmetic
