The exponential functions change is represented by decay and the percentage rate of decrease is 1.00619%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To determine if the function represents growth or decay, we substitute values to x.

If the values increase with an increase of x, it represents growth.

If the values decrease with an increase of x, it represents decay.

Step 2:

If $x= 10,$ $y = 1,300 (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{10}{69} } = 1,300 (0.9044) = 1,175.72.$

If $x=11,$ $y = 1,300 (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{11}{69} } = 1,300 (0.8953) = 1,163.89.$

So as x increases the value of y decreases, so it represents decay.

Step 3:

The percentage rate of change is determined by dividing the difference of two consecutive values by the first value.

The percentage rate of change $= \frac{y(x=11) - y(x=10)}{y(x=10)}.$

Substituting the values, we get

The percentage rate of change $=\frac{1,175.72-1,163.89}{1,175.72}(100) = 1.00619\%$ .

As the values of y decrease with an increase in x, it is the percent decrease per unit.

A company has a budget of $280,000 for computing equipment. Tablets cost $500 each, laptops cost $2000 each, and servers cost $5

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The number of tablets 200

the number of laptops 40

and, the number of servers 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tablets be 'x'

the number of laptops be 'y'

and, the number of servers be 'z'

According to the given question

Total budget = $280,000

Tablets cost = $500 each

laptops cost = $2000 each

servers cost = $5000 each

Thus,

500x + 2000y + 5000z = 280,000 ..............(1)

also,

x = 5y ................(2)

and,

y = 2z

z = $\frac{\textup{y}}{\textup{2}}$ ............(3)

substituting y from 2 and 3 in equation 1, we get

(500 × 5y) + (2000 × y) + (5000 × $\frac{\textup{y}}{\textup{2}}$ ) = 280,000

2500y + 2000y + 2500y = 280,000

7000y = 280,000

y = 40

substituting y in equation 2, we get

x = 5 × 40 = 200

substituting y in equation 3 we get

z = $\frac{\textup{40}}{\textup{2}}$

z = 20

hence,

the number of tablets 200

the number of laptops 40

and, the number of servers 20

I need help please!!

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

16 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

By equa tion of area of triangle: S = 1/2 * height * base

Triangle B: 32 = 1/2 * 8 * x --> x = 8 (cm)

The base of triangle A is half of the base of triangle B so it is 4 cm.

The area of triangle A = 1/2 * 8 * 4 = 16 (cm2)

if a triangle is an equilateral triangle then the triangle has exactly three 60 angles abc is an equilateral triangle

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The statement is always TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle has all angles and all sides equal

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Let each of the angles be x degrees.

Then we solve the following equation for x.

$x+x+x=180\degree$

$\implies 3x=180$

$\implies x=\frac{180}{3}=60\degree$
