The independent variable is the study environment. This is because that's what's being changed in the experiment to determine something else. The dependent variable is how we're measuring results. Therefore, in this experiment, it's the result of the comprehension test.

What is the decay factor of the exponential function<br> represented by the table?

bulgar [2K]

Given:

The table of values of an exponential function.

To find:

The decay factor of the exponential function.

Solution:

The general form of an exponential function is:

$y=ab^x$ ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and $0$ is the decay factor and $b>1$ is the growth factor.

The exponential function passes through the point (0,6). Substituting $x=0,y=6$ in (i), we get

$6=ab^0$

$6=a(1)$

$6=a$

The exponential function passes through the point (1,2). Substituting $x=1,y=2,a=6$ in (i), we get

$2=6(b)^1$

$2=6b$

$\dfrac{2}{6}=b$

$\dfrac{1}{3}=b$

Here, $b=\dfrac{1}{3}$ lies between 0 and 1. Therefore, the decay factor of the given exponential function is $\dfrac{1}{3}$ .

Hence, the correct option is A.

Will bought 3 college textbooks. One cost $32, one cost $45, and one cost $39. What is the average price of his books? Choose th

valkas [14]

The statement that correctly calculates the average price of Will's books is

B. ($32 + $45 + $39) ÷ 3

This is because the average or mean, is found by adding all of the numbers together and then dividing the sum by the amount of numbers you added together (in this case 3.)

Help with my algebra homework.

just olya [345]

Q1. The answer is $\frac{(x-4)(x-4)}{(x+3)(x+1)}= \frac{ x^{2}-4x-4x+16}{ x^{2} +x+3x+3} = \frac{ x^{2} -8x+16}{ x^{2} +4x+3}$
$\frac{ x^{2} -16}{ x^{2} +5x+6} / \frac{ x^{2} +5x+4}{ x^{2} -2x-8} = \frac{ x^{2} -16}{ x^{2} +5x+6}* \frac{x^{2} -2x-8}{ x^{2} +5x+4}$
Now, factorise the numerators and denominators:
x² - 16 = x² - 4² = (x + 4)(x - 4)
x² + 5x + 6 = x² + 2x + 3x + 2*3 = x(x+2) + 3(x+2) = (x + 2)(x + 3)
x² - 2x - 8 = x² + 2x - 4x - 2*4 = x(x+2) - 4(x+2) = (x + 2)(x - 4)
x² + 5x + 4 = x² + x + 4x + 4*1 = x(x+1) + 4(x+1) = (x + 1)(x + 4)

$\frac{ x^{2} -16}{ x^{2} +5x+6}* \frac{x^{2} -2x-8}{ x^{2} +5x+4}= \frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{(x+2)(x+3)} * \frac{(x+2)(x-4)}{(x+1)(x+4)}$
Now, cancel out some factors:
$\frac{(x+4)(x-4)}{(x+2)(x+3)} * \frac{(x+2)(x-4)}{(x+1)(x+4)}= \frac{(x-4)(x-4)}{(x+3)(x+1)}= \frac{ x^{2}-4x-4x+16}{ x^{2} +x+3x+3} = \frac{ x^{2} -8x+16}{ x^{2} +4x+3}$

Q2. The answer is $\frac{7(a-7)}{(a-8)(a+8)}$
Since a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b), then a²- 64 = a² - 8² = (a-8)(a+8).
$\frac{7}{a+8} + \frac{7}{ a^{2} -64} = \frac{7}{a+8} + \frac{7}{ (a+8)(a-8)}= \frac{7(a-8)}{(a+8)(a-8)} + \frac{7}{ (a+8)(a-8)}= \frac{7(a-8)+7}{ (a+8)(a-8)}$
$= \frac{7(a-8)+7*1}{(a+8)(a-8)} =\frac{7(a-8+1)}{(a+8)(a-8)} =\frac{7(a-7)}{(a+8)(a-8)}$

Q3. The answer is $\frac{7(3a-4)}{(a-6)(a+8)}$
$\frac{ a^{2} -2a-3}{ a^{2}-9a+18 }- \frac{a^{2} -5a-6}{ a^{2}+9a+8 } = \frac{a^{2}+a-3a-3*1}{a^{2}-3a-6a+3*6} - \frac{a^{2}-a-6a-6*1}{a^{2}+a+8a+8*1}$
$= \frac{a(a+1)-3(a+1)}{a(a-3)-6(a-3)}- \frac{a(a+1)-6(a+1)}{a(a+1)+8(a+1)}= \frac{(a+1)(a-3)}{(a-6)(a-3)} - \frac{(a+1)(a-6)}{(a+1)(a+8)}$
Now, cancel out some factors:
$\frac{(a+1)(a-3)}{(a-6)(a-3)} - \frac{(a+1)(a-6)}{(a+1)(a+8)}= \frac{a+1}{a-6} - \frac{a-6}{a+8}$
$\frac{a+1}{a-6} - \frac{a-6}{a+8}= \frac{(a+1)(a+8)}{(a-6)(a+8)} -\frac{(a-6)(a-6)}{(a-6)(a+8)} =\frac{(a+1)(a+8)-(a-6)(a-6)}{(a-6)(a+8)}$
$= \frac{ a^{2} +9a+8- a^{2} +12-36}{(a-6)(a+8)} =\frac{9a+8+12-36}{(a-6)(a+8)} =\frac{21a-28}{(a-6)(a+8)} =\frac{7(3a-4)}{(a-6)(a+8)}$

Q4. The answer is $\frac{4x}{(x+3)(1+3x)}=\frac{4x}{ x^{2} +10x+3}$
$\frac{4}{x+3} / (\frac{1}{x}+3 )=\frac{4}{x+3} / (\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{3x}{x})=\frac{4}{x+3} / (\frac{1+3x}{x})= \frac{4}{x+3} * \frac{x}{1+3x} = \frac{4x}{(x+3)(1+3x)}$
$\frac{4x}{(x+3)(1+3x)}= \frac{4x}{x+3 x^{2} +3+9x}= \frac{4x}{ x^{2} +10x+3}$

Q5. The answer is x = 6
$\frac{-2}{x} +4= \frac{4}{x} +3$
$4-3= \frac{4}{x}- \frac{-2}{x}$
$1 = \frac{4-(-2)}{x}$
$1= \frac{4+2}{x}$
$1= \frac{6}{x}$
$x = 6$
Let's check the solution:
Since: $\frac{-2}{x} +4= \frac{4}{x} +3$
Then: $\frac{-2}{6}+4 = \frac{4}{6} +3$
$- \frac{1}{3}+ \frac{4*3}{3}= \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3*3}{3}$
$- \frac{1}{3} + \frac{12}{3} = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{9}{3}$
$\frac{-1+12}{3} = \frac{2+9}{3}$
$\frac{11}{3} = \frac{11}{3}$
Thus, the solution is correct
