Find the area of a square if its sides measure 2 2/3m
olga55 [171]

Answer:

7\dfrac{1}{9}\ m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the square side is a units, then the area of the square is

A=a^2\ un^2.

In your case, the side length is

a=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ m,

then the area is

A=2\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot 2\dfrac{2}{3}\\ \\ \\A=\dfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\cdot \dfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\\ \\ \\A=\dfrac{8}{3}\cdot \dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\ \\A=\dfrac{64}{9}\\ \\ \\A=7\dfrac{1}{9}\ m^2

Determine if the equation y = 2(0.45)x represents exponential growth or decay
djverab [1.8K]
We have that
y = 2(0.45)^x

in this problem 
2-----------> is the Coefficient
0.45-------> is the Base
<span>x-----------> is the Exponent

we know that
</span><span>If the base  is less than 1 (but always greater than 0), the function will be exponential decay
</span>It is decay because as x values increase, y values decrease.
<span>0.45 < 1  and 0.45 > 0
therefore

the equation
</span>y = 2(0.45)^x
represents <span>exponential decay
</span>
the answer is
exponential decay<span>

</span>

Kipish [7]

Answer:

After 15 years the use of said machine is no longer profitable

Step-by-step explanation:

it should be used, as long as the money generated is not smaller as the costs generated. By setting both formulas equal (calculating the x value for when they are equal) you get x = 15 and x = -2.5(which doesnt make sense in this context).
