Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential functions are represented in the form 
, where a is the initial value and b is the multiplier.
Here, we see that when x = 0, y = 4. This means that 4 is our initial value, or a. You can look at the a variable almost being like the y-intercept of a graph.
Next, we must solve for b. We can do 16 ÷ 4 to find the slope, or multiplier of this function, because 16 is 1 input x-value up from 0. 16 ÷ 4 = 4.
So, we now have all the needed variables, so we plug them into the formula
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
make it reciprocal
2x/5 = 4/25
cross multiply the numbers
2x × 25 = 4×5
2x= 20/25
2x= 4/5
x = 2/5
1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.
2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"
3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.
4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.
5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.
Answer:
5 felt pads.
7 cards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
- The total number of items is 12
- So let the felt sheets be x
- Let the cards = y
Equations and Solution
x + y = 12
Now the price is 7.75 that she has to pay for the 12 items. She wants to come back with 0 dollars.
0.5x + 0.75y = 7.75 Multiply this equation by 2
x + 1.5y = 15.50 write the first equation underneath and subtract.
<u>x + y = 12</u>
.5y = 3 Divide by 0.5
y = 3/0.5
y = 7
So she can get 7 cards.
x + y = 12
x + 7 = 12
x = 12 - 7
x = 5
So she can buy 5 felt pads.
