Answer:
a) 600
b) see below
c) 1.26 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The value of y when x=0 is the coefficient of the exponential term:
y = 600·3^(-0) = 600·1 = 600
There were 600 atoms to start.

b) see attached for a graph
__
c) The graph shows 150 atoms at t = 1.26, about 1.26 hours after the start of time counting.
If you want to find that value algebraically, substitute for y and solve for x. Logarithms are involved.
150 = 600·3^(-x)
150/600 = 3^(-x)
log(1/4) = -x·log(3)
x = -log(1/4)/log(3) = log(4)/log(3) ≈ 1.2618595
After about 1.26 hours, there were 150 atoms.
15=7x+1-5x
Put like terms together. ( group anything alike)
15+1=16
7x-5x=2x
16 2x
—- ——-
2x 2x
2x/2x cancels itself out.
16 divided by 2 is 8
x=8
I hope this helped!
Answer:
She answered 76 percent of the question correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert fraction (ratio) 23 / 30 Answer: 76.6%
Because each ticket costs 1 and she spends 8 she would be buying 8 tickets
She has 8 friends so each one would get 1 ticket
The answer is 1
