Answer:

Electric car = Exponential function (decreasing cost)

Gasoline car = Exponential function (increasing cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data the Electric car, we have;

Time (years)   {}     Cost (thousands of dollars)

0                           {}      35

5                           {}      27

10                           {}     21

15                           {}     16

20                           {}    12.5

The difference between successive term is such that each term decreases by approximately the same percentage given as follows

1st and 2nd term (35 - 27)/35 × 100 ≈ 22.8571% decrease

2nd and 3rd term (27 - 21)/27 × 100 ≈ 22.222% decrease

3rd and 4th term (21 - 16)/21 × 100 ≈ 23.81% decrease

4th and 5th term (16 - 12.5)/16 × 100 ≈ 21.875% decrease

Therefore. the electric car is best approximated by exponential function

The given data the Gasoline car, we have;

Time (years)   {}     Cost (thousands of dollars)

0                           {}      35

5                           {}      40.2

10                           {}    46.3

15                           {}    53.2

20                           {}    61.2

The difference between successive term is such that each term increases by approximately the same percentage given as follows

1st and 2nd term (40.2 - 35)/35 × 100 ≈ 14.857% decrease

2nd and 3rd term (46.3 - 40.2)/40.2 × 100 ≈ 15.174% decrease

3rd and 4th term (53.2 - 46.3)/46.3× 100 ≈ 14.9% decrease

4th and 5th term (61.2 - 53.2)/53.2× 100 ≈ 15.03% decrease

Therefore. the Gasoline car is best approximated by exponential function

The sum of two consecutive integers is 23. what are the integers?
Zepler [3.9K]

Let the consecutive integers be x and x+1.

Then,

x + (x + 1) = 23

=> x + x + 1 = 23

=> 2x + 1 = 23

=> 2x = 23 - 1

=> 2x = 22

=> x = 22/2

=> x = 11

So, the integers are:

x = 11

and x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12

So, the consecutive integers are 11 and 12.

Could you please answer the question in the attachment please?
loris [4]
For part (a), we know that 6/60 pupils wear glasses. We also know that there are 360 degrees in the pie chart. So the angles for people who wear glasses must be (6/60)*360. 6/60 simplifies to 1/10, and a tenth of 360 equals 36. So the angle must be 36 degrees. To find the other angle, simply subtract 36 from 360 degrees to get 324 degrees.
For part (b), it is not possible to tell because all 6 pupils who wear glasses could be girls, they could all be boys, some girls and some boys, etc.  We cannot know which one it is, given only that much information.
Hope this helps!
