Answer:

<h2>Answer :</h2>

The original price is x, so 20% of x, - x, equals the sale price. You can use the equation:

x-.2x=15.20

.8x=15.20

/.8. /.8

x=19

The exponential function y= a(b)^x passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10). Which of the following is closest to the value o

Yuki888 [10]

If the exponential function $y=ab^x$ passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10), the value of b is 0.833

The given exponential equation is:

$y=ab^x$

The function passes through the points (3, 25) and (8, 10)

Substitute x = 3 and y = 25 into the function $y=ab^x$

$25=ab^3$ ............................(1)

Substitute x = 8 and y = 10 into the function $y=ab^x$

$10=ab^8$ .............................(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1)

$\frac{10}{25}=\frac{ab^8}{ab^3} \\\\0.4=b^5\\\\b=0.4^\frac{1}{5} \\\\b=0.4^{0.2}\\\\b=0.833$

Therefore, if the exponential function $y=ab^x$ passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10), the value of b is 0.833

Answer:

19 players

Step-by-step explanation:

If the team raises $1396.75 and the bus costed $850.50 then the remaining budget is = 546.75

If each meal is $28.75 then you could buy 19 meals for 19 players to take to the tournament.

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression tanx/1+ secx

djverab [1.8K]

The acceptable first step in simplifying the expression $\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x}}$ is (a) $\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x(1 - sec\ x)}{(1 + sec\ x)(1 - sec\ x)}}$

The expression is given as:

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x}}$

To change the form of the expression, we simply perform several arithmetic operations on it.

Start by multiplying the expression by 1/1

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} = \frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} \times \frac 11}$

Express 1 /1 as (1 - sec x)/(1 - sec x)

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} = \frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} \times \frac{1 - sec\ x}{1 - sec\ x}}$

Rewrite the above expression as follows:

$\mathbf{\frac{tan\ x}{1 + sec\ x} = \frac{tan\ x(1 - sec\ x)}{(1 + sec\ x)(1 - sec\ x)}}$

Hence, the acceptable first step is (a)
