The equation for exponential decay is

, where <em>a</em> is the initial amount, <em>b</em> = 1 + <em>r</em> (the growth rate as a decimal number) and <em>x</em> is the number of time periods (in this case, minutes). Substituting the information we have:

. To the nearest tenth of a gram, this would be 1.0 grams.
1.7 is the answer to the question
Capacity of the hard drive = 160 GB.
Used space = 122 GB.
Free space = 160 - 122 = 38 GB.
So, the size of the home video collection should be less than or equal to 38 GB.
If u is the amount of space used, then, u ≤ 38
If a is the amount of space available, then a = 38 - u.
Sum means addition so the equation is x+5=14
To get the answer, just do 14-5 and the answer is 9
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot the solution sets to both inequalities.
1. For the inequality
First, plot the dotted line
(dotted because sign is without notion "or equal to"), then choose correct part by substitution coordinates of the origin.

so the origin does not belong to the needed part. Shade the part, which does not include origin.
2. For the inequality
First, plot the dotted line
(dotted because sign is without notion "or equal to"), then choose correct part by substitution coordinates of the origin.

so the origin does not belong to the needed part. Shade the part, which does not include origin.
3. Find the common region of these two shaded parts - this is the solution to the system of two inequalities.
