Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that our original exponential formula was y = a b x. You will notice that in these new growth and decay functions, the b value (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 + r) or by (1 - r). The growth "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.
An exponential function of a^x (a>0) is always ln(a)*a^x, as a^x can be rewritten in e^(ln(a)*x). By deriving, the term (ln(a)) gets multiplied with a^x. The derivative shows, that the rate of change is similiar to the function itself. For 0<a<1, ln(a) becomes negative and so is the rate of change.
Linear models are used when a phenomenon is changing at a constant rate, and exponential models are used when a phenomenon is changing in a way that is quick at first, then more slowly, or slow at first and then more quickly.
Answer: 4. - Labor to overcome
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.
Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.
Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.
Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces 
pounds of carbon.
Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.
