Answer: -9 degrees Fahrenheit
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Temperature at 6:00 AM = -12 degrees Fahrenheit
Temperature increased each hour = degrees Fahrenheit
Temperature increase in 6 hours =
Temperature at noon = Temperature at 6:00 AM+Temperature increase in 6 hours
= -12+3 degrees Fahrenheit
= -9 degrees Fahrenheit
Hence, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at noon= -9 degrees Fahrenheit
Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The standard form of an exponential equation is: y = a(b)ˣ where
- a is the initial value
- b is the rate
<u>Growth:</u>
Exponential growth is where the final value (y) is greater than the initial value (a).
An example would be the spreading of a rumor:
You tell 1 person (a = 1) who then tells 2 people each minute (b = 2). How many people will they have spread the rumor to after 5 minutes (x = 5)?
y = 1(2)⁵
= 32
<u>Decay:</u>
Exponential decay is where the final value (y) is less than the initial value (a).
An example would be the decrease of bacteria in a person:
A person has 100 bacteria (a = 1) who takes a pill that is supposed to cut in half the number of bacteria each hour (b = 1/2). How many bacteria will the person have after 2 hours (x = 2)?
