Answers:
- a) 15000 represents the starting amount
- b) The decay rate is 16%, which means the car loses 16% of its value each year.
- c) x is the number of years
- d) f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by
========================================================
Explanation:
We have the function f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x. If we plug in x = 0, then we get,
f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x
f(0) = 15000(0.84)^0
f(0) = 15000(1)
f(0) = 15000
In the third step, I used the idea that any nonzero value to the power of 0 is always 1. The rule is x^0 = 1 for any nonzero x.
So that's how we get the initial value of the car. The car started off at $15,000.
-------------
The growth or decay rate depends entirely on the base of the exponential, which is 0.84; compare it to 1+r and we see that 1+r = 0.84 solves to r = -0.16 which converts to -16%. The negative indicates the value is going down each year. So we have 16% decay or the value is going down 16% per year.
------------
The value of x is the number of years. In the first section, x = 0 represented year 0 or the starting year. If x = 1, then one full year has passed by. For x = 2, we have two full years pass by, and so on.
------------
The value of f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by. We found that f(x) = 15000 when x = 0. In other words, at the start the car is worth $15,000. Plugging in other x values leads to other f(x) values. For example, if x = 2, then you should find that f(x) = 10584. This means the car is worth $10,584 after two years.

Answer:
you need to convert pounds to kilograms. 196 pounds is 88.904 kilograms. The directions tell you that 20 milligrams of the drug is to be administered for each kilogram of a person's weight. Now you need to multiply 88.904 by 20. That should give you 1778.08 milligrams of lincomycin. You would then mix 250 cc's of saline solution to the 1778.08 milligrams of lincomycin; but I think its just asking you how much lincomycin to administer.
at what rate per minute should the 250 cc solution be adminstered
Answer:
408.2sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the cylindrical box = 2πr(r+h)
r is the radius = diameter/2
r = 10/2 = 5in
h is the height = 8in
Substitute
Area of the cylindrical box = 2(3.14)(5)(5+8)
Area of the cylindrical box = 2 * 3.14 * 5 * 13
Area of the cylindrical box = 408.2sq inches
The answer:
by definition, an exponential function with base c is defined by <span>h (x) = ac^x</span><span>
where a ≠0, c > 0 , b ≠1, and x is any real number.</span>
The base, c, is a constant and the exponent, x<span>, is a variable.
</span>so if we have f(x)=3(3\8)^2x, this equivalent to f(x)=3(3\8)^y(x),
where y (x)=2x, <span>
therefore, the base is 3/8, and the variable is the function </span>y (x)=2x,
