Answer:

<em>Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.

An exponential decaying function is expressed as:

C(t)=C_o\cdot(1-r)^t

Where:

C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t

Co is the initial value of C at t=0

r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal

The initial value of the item is Co=$1000, the rate of decay is r=40%=0.4, and the time is t=3 years.

Substituting into the formula:

C(3)=\$1000\cdot(1-0.4)^3

C(3)=\$1000\cdot0.6^3

C(3)=$216

Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly

Assuming that x=-2 and y=3 evaluate xy-x^3 ​
meriva
(-2^3) = -8.
-2 times 3 = -6.

The expression is now -6 - (-8).

-6 + 8 = 2.

The answer should be 2.

A bus company has contracted with a local high school to carry 450 students on a field trip. The company has 18 large buses whic
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the big buses and y represent small buses. The large buses can carry 30 students and the small buses can carry 15 students. The total number of students are 450, this can be represented by the inequality:

30x + 15y ≤ 450

They are only 20 drivers, therefore only 20 buses can be used. It is represented by:

x + y ≤ 20

They  are only 19 small buses and 18 large buses:

x ≤ 18

y ≤ 19

After plotting the graph, the minimum solution to the graph are at:

A (15,0), B(18,0), C(10, 10), D(18, 2).

The cost function is given as:

The total cost of operating one large bus is $225 a day, and the total cost of operating one small bus is $100 per day.

​

F(x, y) = 225x + 100y

At point A:

F(x, y) = 225(15) + 100(0) = $3375

At point B:

F(x, y) = 225(18) + 100(0) = $4050

At point C:

F(x, y) = 225(10) + 100(10) = $3250

At point D:

F(x, y) = 225(18) + 100(2) = $4250

The minimum cost is at point C(10, 10) which is $3250

Answer:

\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given four equations and we have to find the equation that gives the number of half inches that are in \frac{7}{8} inches.

To find how many half inches i.e. \frac{1}{2} inches are there in \frac{7}{8} inches we have to divide \frac{7}{8} by \frac{1}{2}.

So, the equation that will give the result is \frac{7}{8} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{7}{4} (Answer)
