1. The growth rate equation has a general form of:
y = A (r)^t
The function is growth when r≥1, and it is a decay when
r<1. Therefore:
y=200(0.5)^2t -->
Decay
y=1/2(2.5)^t/6 -->
Growth
y=(0.65)^t/4 -->
Decay
2. We rewrite the given equation (1/3)^d−5 = 81
Take the log of both sides:
(d – 5) log(1/3) = log 81
d – 5 = log 81 / log(1/3)
d – 5 = - 4
Multiply both sides by negative 1:
- d + 5 = 4
So the answer is D
Answer:
wouldn't it be 3 kilometers because 3 this way plus 3 that way = 6 away from each other?
Answer:
<em>We disagree with Zach and Delia and agree with Alicia</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of a function is the set of values of the independent variable that the function can take according to given rules or restrictions.
The range is the set of values the dependent variable can take for every possible value of the domain.
The graph shows a continuous line representing the values of the function. We must take a careful look to the values of x (horizontal axis) where the function exists. It can be done by drawing an imaginary vertical line passing through the value of x. If that line touches the graph of the function, it belongs to the domain. It's clear that every value of x between -5 and 3 (both inclusive because there are solid dots in the extremes) belong to the domain:
Domain: 
The range is obtained in a similar way as the domain, but the imaginary lines must be horizontal. That gives us the values of y range from -7 to 5 both inclusive:
Range:

Thus we disagree with Zach and Delia and agree with Alicia
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure exerted by an object is given by:

where
F is the magnitude of the force
A is the area of the surface perpendicular to the force
In this problem, the force is the weight of the books + the shelf, which is given by

where
m = 262 kg is the total mass
is the acceleration of gravity
Substituting,

The area of the four legs is:

Therefore, the pressure exerted on them is:
