Given:
Growth rate = 30% decrease
To find:
The growth factor associated with the given growth rate.
Solution:
The general exponential function is:


Where, a is the initial value, r is the growth rate in decimal and
is the growth factor.
It is given that the growth rate is 30% decrease. So,



Now,




Therefore, the growth factor is 0.7.
60%, she asked 10 students and 6 of them had less than 16. 10/6= .6
Answer: h=7
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition the function in vertex form is:

Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
You must group the terms that contain the same variable in the function:

Complete the square as following:

Now you must rewrite it as following:

Then:
h=7
Answer:
27.5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Using,
R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ------------------ Equation 1
From the equation,
R = mass of Element X before radioactive decay, R' = mass of element X after radioactive decay, a = Time taken, b = half life.
Given: R = 870 grams, R' = 154 grams, b = 11 minutes.
Substitute these values into equation 1
870/154 = 2ᵃ/¹¹
(870/154)¹¹ = 2ᵃ
Solve for a
2ᵃ = (5.649)¹¹
2ᵃ = 187061.26
Taking the logarithm of both side,
Log2ᵃ = Log(187061.26)
⇒ a = log(187061.26)/log2
a = 8.272/0.301
a = 27.5 minutes
Answer: 15/91 which is choice B
=================================================================
There are two methods to find this answer.
Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91
--------------------
Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.
We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)
Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)
So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.
