Answer:

y=\frac{-5}{4}x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Find the slope of the line (</u>m<u>)</u>

To do this, we can plug the two given points (0,5) and (4,0) into the slope equation:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\= \frac{0-5}{4-0}\\= \frac{-5}{4}

Therefore, the slope of the line is \frac{-5}{4}.

<u>2) Find the y-intercept of the line (</u>b<u>)</u>

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis. We don't actually need to perform any calculations because on the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y=5.

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 5.

Plugging both m and b into y=mx+b, we have a final equation of:

y=\frac{-5}{4}x+5

I hope this helps!

Answer:

a. 73; b. 48.9; c. 2; d. 33.8; e. 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the function was

S(t)= 73 - 15 ln(t + 1), t  ≥ 0

a. Average score at t = 0

S(0) = 73 - 15 ln(0 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(1) = 73 - 15(0) =73 - 0 = 73

b. Average score at t = 4

S(4) = 73 - 15 ln(4 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(5) = 73 - 15(1.61) =73 - 24.14 = 48.9

c. Average score at t =24

S(24) = 73 - 15 ln(24 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(25) = 73 - 15(3.22) =73 - 48.28 = 24.7

d. Percent of answers retained

At t = 0. the students retained 73 % of the answers.

At t = 24, they retained 24.7 % of the answers.

\text{Percent retention} = \dfrac{\text{24.7}}{\text{73}} \times 100 \, \% = \text{33.8 \%}\\\\\text{The students retained $\large \boxed{\mathbf{33.8 \, \%}}$ of their original knowledge after two years.}

e. Maximum of the function

The maximum of the function is at t= 0.

Max = 73 %

The graph below shows your knowledge decay curve. Knowledge decays rapidly at first but slows as time goes on.
