Answer:
(d) -- see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph that shows exponential decay is one that tends toward a horizontal asymptote as x gets large.

A basic (parent) exponential decay curve is concave upward and tends toward zero as x gets large. The fractional change in any interval is the same as for any other interval of equal size. The curve attached decreases by a factor of 2 when x increases by 1.
23,009,040 = 2.300904 x 107
This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b
where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.
m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)
1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb
Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.
Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25
Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x
Now round to the nearest tenth:
y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer:
45 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
because 10% of 50 is 5, you subtract 5 from 50;
50-5=45
