Answer:

Growth, with a 9% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential patterns are usually defined by some kind of <em>repeated multiplication</em>. In most exponential patterns we start with some <em>initial value</em> (let's call it a) and some <em>multiplier</em> (let's call it b), and a is multiplied by b some number x times. We capture this as a function y with the equation y=ab^x There are three broad categories for this pattern:

  • <em>No growth/decay </em>- The function has an initial value that never changes. In order for the initial value to stay constant, we need b=1, since multiplication by 1 doesn't change the number it's multiplied by.
  • <em>Growth</em> - The function grows at some exponential rate; for every increase in x, our initial value will be at <em>least</em> as big as it was for smaller values of x, so b>1 in this case. (Example: A bacteria population starts at size 3 and doubles in size every hour; after x hours, there will be 3\cdot2^x bacteria)
  • <em>Decay - </em>The function decays or decreases at some exponential rate; for every increase in x it <em>can't be as large</em> as it was for smaller values of x, so b here. (Example: An Instagram post gets an initial wave of 100 new likes, and every hour it gets half the number of likes as the previous hour, so the number of new likes per hour is 100\cdot(0.5)^x.

In the function y=210(1.09)^x, b>1, so we have exponential <em>growth</em>, but by what percent? Well, for every step in x, we take 1.09 (109%) of the previous value, so that's a 9% increase.

A company manufactirung snowboards has fixed costs of $200 per day and total cost of $3800 per day at a daily output of 20 board
polet [3.4K]
A. The cost per 20 boards is 3800. so each board costs 3800/20 or $190. So the cost equation is C(x) = 200 + 190x

B. Divide the cost function by x. C(x)/x = 200/x + 190

C. The graph will be a curve that starts at (1,390) and curves down and to the right. Your last point will be at (30, 200/30+190) Your asymptote will be the horizontal line at 190 because as x tends to infinity, the term 200/x goes to zero. (There is also a vertical asymptote at x = 0 because you can't divide by zero, but your graph won't include x=0)

D. The average cost tends to 190 which was your horizontal asymptote.

The rectangles below are similar in shape. How wide is the smaller rectangle?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=28\ ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

If two rectangles are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.

Therefore we have the equation:

\dfrac{x}{42}=\dfrac{36}{54}

cross multiply

54x=(42)(36)\\\\54x=1512

divide both sides by 54

\dfrac{54x}{54}=\dfrac{15212}{54}\\\\x=28
