Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is something like:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A = initial amount.

r = rate of growth

x = variable.

This type of function is used to describe situations like "you have A dollars, and it increases by 30% each week"

or:

"There is a population of A animals, and it doubles each year"

Let's analyze briefly all the given options and see which one is an exponential function.

A) The water level of a tank decreases by 5 gallons every day.

This is a linear relation, if W is the initial amount of water, and x is the number of days, then the water level of the tank after x days is:

y = W - 5 gal*x

B) The amount of money collected by a charity increases by $5,000 each year.

The amount collected increases $5000 each year.

Then if in year 1 they collected A.

in year 2 they collected A + $5000

in year 3 they collected A + 2*$5000

We already can see the pattern, this is a linear relation:

in year X they colected A + (X - 1)*$5000

C) A tree was 10 feet tall when purchased and grows at a rate of 2 feet per year.

if y is the height of the tree, and x is the number of years, this can be written as:

y = 10ft + x*2ft

Again, a linear relation.

D) The number of people in a stadium is decreasing at a rate of 45% every 10 minutes.

Let's define x as each "lapse" of 10 minutes that passes.

If N is the initial number of people in te stadium, then after 10 minutes the number of people is = N*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*(1 - 0.45) = N*0.55

After another 10 minutes, the population decreases again.

N*0.55*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*0.55*0.55 = N*0.55^2

We can see the pattern here, this can be written as

People(x) = N*(0.55)^x

This is an exponential function.

Helga [31]

6(f+4) + 2(f+4)

Use the distributive property:

6f+24 + 2f + 8

Now combine like terms:

8f +32

The answer is 8f + 32

U(-3,6), V(-8, 1), W(-3,1)<br> 180° rotation about the origin
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

<em>U'</em>(3, -6), <em>V</em><em>'</em>(8, -1), <em>W</em><em>'</em>(3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the <em>180°-rotation rule</em>, you take the OPPOSITE of both the y-coordinate and x-coordinate:

<u>Extended Rotation Rules</u>

270°-clockwise rotation [90°-counterclockwise rotation] >> (x, y) → (-y, x)

270°-counterclockwise rotation [90°-clockwise rotation] >> (x, y) → (y, -x)

180°-rotation >> (x, y) → (-x, -y)

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
