Answer:

f(x) = 30 • 0.989x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

10 26.8

20 23.9

30 21.3

40 19

50 16.9

60 15.1

Using technology, the exponential model equation obtained by plotting the data is :

y = 30.068(0.989)^x

Based on the general exponential formula :

y = ab^x

y = predicted value

Initial value, a = 30.068

Rate = b = 0.989

The most appropriate model equation from the options given is :

f(x) = 30 • 0.989^x

HELP When does expanding and simplifying a(b + c) result in a positive value for ac?
Reil [10]

Answer:

When c and a are positive or both are negative

Step-by-step explanation:

negative times negative equals positive so if a was negative and c was negative -a*-c= ac

Of course positive times positive equals negative so if a and c were positive we could do

a*c= ac

Hope I could help !

The elevation of Location 1 is 20 feet above sea level and the elevation of Location 2 is 50 feet below sea level.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Location 1 is 20 feet ABOVE the sea level while Location 2 is 50 feet BELOW the sea level.

Location 1 would be 20

Location 2 would be -50

And think of the greater than and lesser than symbol as a alligators mouth it would go towards the bigger number so, -50 < 20, Location 1 is higher, is the answer.
