Answer:

g(n) = 10 * 3^{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for table

Required

Determine the explicit formula for the table

First, we need to check if the guppies increases at arithmetic progression or geometry progression.

For arithmetic progression:

We calculate the common difference (d)

d = g(n) - g(n-1)

Take n as 1

d = g(1) - g(1-1)

d = g(1) - g(0)

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(0) = 10

d = 30 - 10

d = 20

Take n as 2

d = g(2) - g(1)

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(2) = 90

d = 90 - 30

d = 60

The two differences are not equal. So, this

For geometry progression:

We calculate the common ratio (r)

r = \frac{g(n)}{g(n-1)}

Take n as 1

r = \frac{g(1)}{g(1-1)}

r = \frac{g(1)}{g(0)}

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(0) = 10

r = \frac{30}{10}

r = 3

Take n as 2

r = \frac{g(2)}{g(1)}

From the table:

g(1) = 30\ \&\ g(2) = 90

r = \frac{90}{30}

r = 3

The two ratios are equal.

So, the next step is to calculate the explicit formula using n term of a geometric progression.

Because the progression starts from 0, we make use of the following formula

g(n) = g(0) * r^{n}

Substitute values for g(0) and r

g(n) = 10 * 3^{n}

Hence:

The explicit formula is: g(n) = 10 * 3^{n}

First, for end behavior, the highest power of x is x^3 and it is positive. So towards infinity, the graph will be positive, and towards negative infinity the graph will be negative (because this is a cubic graph)

To find the zeros, you set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x
x^3+2x^2-8x=0
x(x^2+2x-8)=0
x(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=0   x=-4   x=2

So the zeros are at 0, -4, and 2. Therefore, you can plot the points (0,0), (-4,0) and (2,0)

And we can plug values into the original that are between each of the zeros to see which intervals are positive or negative.
Plugging in a -5 gets us -35
-1 gets us 9
1 gets us -5 
3 gets us 21

So now you know end behavior, zeroes, and signs of intervals

15% of Alina’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. 25% of Dane’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. Which statement must be
Arisa [49]


The correct answer is B. If Alina’s workout was 80 minutes, and Dane’s workout was 48 minutes, they spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.

To figure this out, first find 15% of 80 and then 25% of 48.

To find 15% of 80, you can first find 10% of 80 which is 8(just move the decimal one place to the left). The remaining 5% will be half of 8 since 8 is 10%. Add both the numbers up and you will get 12. (8+4=12)

To find 25% of 48, you can divide 48 by 4. Since percent means 'out of 100', 25% is 25 of 100. 100 divided by 25 is equal to 4. So, 48 divided by 4 is equal to 12.

So, the final answer is B. They both equal to 12.

Hope it helps :)
