Answer:

$f(12) = 323.02$

$f(12) = 16.7 * 1.28^{12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(-2.5) = 9$

$f(7) = 91$

$f(12) = 16.7 * 1.28^{12$

Required

$f(12)$

An exponential function is:

$f(x) = ab^x$

$f(-2.5) = 9$ implies that:

$9 = ab^{-2.5}$

$f(7) = 91$ implies that:

$91 = ab^7$

Divide both equations

$91/9 = ab^7/ab^{-2.5}$

$91/9 = b^7/b^{-2.5}$

Apply law of indices

$91/9 = b^{7+2.5}$

$10.11 = b^{9.5}$

Take 9,5th root of both sides

$b = 1.28$

So, we have:

$9 = ab^{-2.5}$

$9 = a * 1.28^{-2.5}$

$9 = a * 0.54$

$a = 9/0.54$

$a = 16.7$

f(12) is calculated as:

$f(x) = ab^x$

$f(12) = 16.7 * 1.28^{12$

$f(12) = 323.02$

Angles α and β are angles in standard position such that: α terminates in Quadrant II and sinα = 3/5, β terminates in Quadrant I

777dan777 [17]

We are given

Angles α and β are angles in standard position

and

α terminates in Quadrant II

β terminates in Quadrant I

and we have

$sin(\alpha)=\frac{3}{5}$

we can use triangle and find cos(α)

we get

$cos(\alpha)=-\frac{4}{5}$

and we have

$cos(\beta)=\frac{4}{5}$

we can draw triangle

$sin(\beta)=\frac{3}{5}$

now, we can use formula

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=cos(\alpha)cos(\beta)-sin(\alpha)sin(\beta)$

now, we can plug values

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{3}{5}$

now, we can simplify it

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{16}{25}-\frac{9}{25}$

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{(16+9)}{25}$

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{(16+9)}{25}$

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{25}{25}$

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-1$ ...............Answer

You are selling lemonade for $1.50, a bag of kettle corn for $3, and a hot dog for $2.50 at a fair. Write and simplify and expre

denpristay [2]

<span>You are selling the following items.
=> lemonade = $1.50
=> kettle corn = $3
=> hotdog = $2.50
=> p = number of people

Now, we need to write the expression of this given equation:
=> Amount = p(1.50 + 3 + 2.50) or Amount = p(1.50) + p(3) + p (2.50)
In where p is the number of people who will buy your food and will be multiplied to the amount of each food you’re selling to be able to get the total amount of money you will have.

Missing term = –2xy

Solution:

Let us first find the quotient of $-8x^2y^3 \div xy$ .

$-8x^2y^3 \div xy=\frac{-8x^2y^3 }{xy}$

$=\frac{-8\times x\times x\times y\times y\times y}{xy}$

Taking common term xy outside in the numerator.

$=\frac{xy(-8\times x\times y\times y)}{xy}$

Both xy in the numerator and denominator are cancelled.

$=-8xy^2$

Thus, the quotient of $-8x^2y^3 \div xy$ is $-8xy^2$ .

Given the quotient of $-8x^2y^3 \div xy$ is same as the product of 4xy and ____.

$-8xy^2=4xy$ × missing term

Divide both sides by 4xy, we get

⇒ missing term = $\frac{-8xy^2}{4xy}$

Cancel the common terms in both numerator and denominator.

⇒ missing term = –2xy

Hence the missing term of the product is –2xy.
