Answer:

Step-byConsider the enlargement of the rectangle.

A smaller rectangle with length of x inches and width of three-fifths inch. A larger rectangle with length of 20 inches and width of 12 inches.

Use the proportion to find the missing dimension of the original rectangle.

1. Set up the proportion: StartFraction x over three-fifths EndFraction = StartFraction 20 over 12 EndFraction

2. Use cross products: 12(x) = 20(3

5

)

3. Simplify:  

12x =  

⇒ 12

4. Divide:  

x =  

1

-step explanation:

so the REAL answer is first 12 then 1

Answer:

The new rectangle is 20 times larger than the original rectangle.

So multiply both length and width of smaller rectangle with 20 to get larger rectangle

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght of smalled rectangle = x

Width of smaller rectangle = 3/5 inches

Lenght of larger rectangle = 20

Width of larger rectangle = 12

Find the ratio of width of large rectangle to small rectangle: \frac{20}{3/5} : 20

Divide length of larger rectangle with 20 to find x:  \frac{20}{20}=1

the function below represents the number of zombies, N, where t is the number of years since the zombies gained control of earth
raketka [301]
There is missing information about this question that I found online.
Given function is:
N(t) = 300\cdot 2^{-\frac{t}{8}}
The question is:
<span>Is this exponential growth or decay? Explain using your understanding of the properties of exponents.
</span>This is an exponential decay. 
In general, we can write down exponential functions like this:
f(x)=b^{ax}
Parameter a is the key parameter that will tell how exponential function behaves. If it is positive we have an exponential growth. If it is negative we can rewrite function like this:
f(x)=b^{-ax}=\frac{1}{b^{ax}}
We can notice that in this case, the denominator will exhibit exponential growth, in other words, the functions rapidly declines. This is an exponential decay.
