Good evening.
This is a
incomplete quadratic equation, because it does not have the term
bx. Therefore, we can solve this faster with the following strategy:

Add
16 to both sides:

Take the square root:

Therefore:
Y=29-2(1)
y=29-2=27
(1,27)
y=29-2(3)
y=29-6=23
(3,23)
y=29-2(4)
y=29-8=21
(4,21)
y=29-2(5)
y=29-10=19
(5,19)
The longer sides of the rectangles should be the same value, so we can make the lower part of the equation equal to 18, which is 4.
We can even find the y value by making it equal to 10, which is 3.
I think this is.. ↓
grows 4% at every year
after 7 years ↓↓
4 × 7 = 28
A town has a population of 5000
28% of 5000 = 1400
5000 + 1400 = 6400
after 7 years, town has 6400 population = after 7 year grows 28%
Answer: 0.87400mg of caffeine.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have
N(t)=N0(e^−rt)(1)
as a general Exponential decay equation where N0 is the amount at t=0, N(t) is the amount remaining at time t and r is the exponential decay constant. You're specifically given that after 10 hours, the decay factor is 0.2601, i.e.,
N(10)/N(0)=N0(e^−10r)/N0(e^0)= e^−10r=0.2601 . .(2)
Taking the last 2 parts of (2) to the power of 0.1t gives
e^−rt=0.2601^.1t . .(3)
This means that
N(t)=N0(e^−rt)=N0(0.2601^.1t). .(4)
Also,
N(2.56)N(1.56)=N0(0.2601.1(2.56))N0(0.2601.1(1.56))=0.2601.1(2.56−1.56)=0.2601^.1
= 0.87400mg of caffeine.
