Answer:
a) 600
b) see below
c) 1.26 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The value of y when x=0 is the coefficient of the exponential term:
y = 600·3^(-0) = 600·1 = 600
There were 600 atoms to start.
__
b) see attached for a graph
__
c) The graph shows 150 atoms at t = 1.26, about 1.26 hours after the start of time counting.
If you want to find that value algebraically, substitute for y and solve for x. Logarithms are involved.
150 = 600·3^(-x)
150/600 = 3^(-x)
log(1/4) = -x·log(3)
x = -log(1/4)/log(3) = log(4)/log(3) ≈ 1.2618595
After about 1.26 hours, there were 150 atoms.
Well if each band needs 15.5 inches and she needs to make 12 headbands she needs 15.5 inches 12 times. Now you can add 15.5 + 15.5 +15.5 (so on) 12 times or you can do it the easier way and do 15.5 times 12. this comes out to 186 inches of ribbon. She estimated 160 inches of ribbon, this is unreasonable because it is significantly less that 186.
The answer is B because 90 to 30 is 3 over 2

Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
The third in sequence will be the middle one, the average value of all the numbers in the sequence. That average is the sum (145) divided by the number of numbers (5).
third number = 145/5 = 29
2 because it is the number being added to the zero intercept in the equation
