Answer:
135 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y -----> the number of pages to finish reading the book
x ----> the number of hours
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the unit rate or slope of the linear equation
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
<em>Xanthia</em>


----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function
For y=0
substitute and solve for x


---> Xanthia's time to finish reading the book
<em>Molly</em>


----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function
For y=0


--- Molly's time to finish reading the book
To find out how many more minutes than Xanthia would it take for Molly to finish reading the book, subtract Xanthia's time from Molly's time

Convert to minutes
Multiply by 60

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
---x = 0, in 2012
-- x = 5, in 2017
Required
Select all possible equations
Because there is a reduction in the population, as time increases; the rate must be less than 1.
An exponential function is represented as:

Where

rate > 1 in options (a) and (b) i.e. 1.03
This implies that (a) and (b) cannot be true
For option (c), we have:

Set x = 0

Set x = 5

<em>This is true because the calculated values of f(0) and f(5) correspond to the given values</em>
For option (d), we have:

Set x = 0

<em>This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value</em>
For option (e), we have:

Set x = 0
undefined
<em>This is false because the f(x) is not undefined at x = 0</em>
For option (f), we have:

Set x = 0

<em>This is false because the calculated value of f(0) does not correspond to the given value</em>
<em>From the computations above, only (c) </em>
<em> is true</em>
It is approximately -.4048
H=10^(-pH)
log H = -pH
pH=-logH => so it is affirmed that it is -.40
