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

The graph below shows a system of equations: y = -x - 2 and y = 2x - 5. The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equati
sergey [27]

ANSWER

The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1.

EXPLANATION

The given equations are:

y = -x - 2

and

y = 2x - 5.

We want to find the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations.

We equate the two equations to obtain an equation in x.

This implies that,

2x-5=-x-2

Group similar terms to obtain:

2x+x=-2+5

Simplify

3x=3

Divide both sides by 3.

x=1

The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1

Can someone help me with this diagram problem?
mart [117]

Answer: the diagonal is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has 2 parallel and equal sides. Each of the 4 angles in a rectangle is 90°. Therefore, the diagonal of the rectangle divides it into 2 equal right angle triangles and the diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right triangles.

To determine the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, d, , we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 5² + (5√3)²

d² = 25 + 25×3 = 100

d = √100

d = 10 units
