Answer:
1. The equation represent an exponential decay
2. The rate of the exponential decay is -3×2.5ˣ·㏑(2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
When a function a(t) = a₀(1 + r)ˣ has exponential growth, the logarithm of x grows with time such that;
log a(t) = log(a₀) + x·log(1 + r)
Hence in the equation -3 ≡ a₀, (1 + r) ≡ 2.5 and y ≡ a(t). Plugging in the values in the above equation for the condition of an exponential growth, we have;
log y = log(-3) + x·log(2.5)
Therefore, since log(-3) is complex, the equation does not represent an exponential growth hence the equation represents an exponential decay.
The rate of the exponential decay is given by the following equation;

Hence the rate of exponential decay is -3×2.5ˣ × ㏑(2.5)
The function is: f ( x ) = - x² + 60 x - 116 is in the form: f ( x ) = a x² + b x + c
Part A:
x = -b / 2 a = - 60 / ( - 2 ) = 30
Then we will charge it into the function:
f ( 30 ) = - 30² + 60 · 30 - 116 = - 900 +1,800 - 116 = 784
The vertex is ( 30, 784 ).
It means that the maximum profit is $784, when 30 windshields are repaired.
Part B:
x 1/2 = ( -60 +/- √(3600 - 464 )/ (- 2 ) = ( -60 +/- 56 ) / ( - 2 )
x 1 = 2, x 2 = 58
It means that a shop has to repair at least 2 windshields and not more than 58 windshields for making a profit.
