Answer:

P(t)= 9000(0.4)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we have an exponential function as follows;

P(t)= I(1 - r)^t

This case represents a decay ( decrease in value)

from what we have;

I represents the initial value, whereas r is the rate of change

From the question, we have that the change rate is the fraction 3/5

Writing this as a decimal, it is 0.6

substituting this back into the equation, we have;

P(t)= I(1-0.6)^t

P(t)= I(0.4)^t

I in this case is 9,000

So we have it that;

P(t) = 9000(0.4)^t

-x^2+4x-8 <br>axis of symmerty​
V125BC [204]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf x=2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry can be calculated using the formula:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

First we must determine a and b from the quadratic: -x^2+4x-8. This is in standard form, with the highest power first in descending order.

Standard form is also: ax^2+bx+c

If we compare this to the quadratic given, we can conclude that:

a= -1 \\b= 4 \\c= -8

Substitute the values for a and b into the formula.

x= \frac{-(4)}{2(-1)}

Multiply in the denominator.

x=\frac {-4}{-2}

Divide.

x=2

This can also be determined from the graph. It is the x-coordinate of the vertex or the maximum/minimum. It divides the quadratic into 2 symmetrical halves.
