Suppose that the exponential growth function is y = 4^x.
If x = 1, then y = 4^1 = 4.
If x = 3, then y = 4^3 = 64.
Let the initial value be 1/2.
The growth function is now y = 1/2 * 4^x.
If x =1, then y = 2 which is half of the y value before adding the 1/2.
If x = 3, then y = 1/2 * 64 = 32.
Answer: 1/2
answer
45 minutes
explanation
using the equation C(m) = 0.1m + 1, C(m) is the cost of the phone call (5.50)
5.50 = 0.1m + 1 subtract 1 from both sides
4.5 = 0.1m divide both sides by 0.1
45 = m
m is the number of minutes, so 45 minutes
Answer:
I believe that it is 150 per month but im not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
150 * 3 = 300
Answer:
5 sets
Step-by-step explanation:
The average number of pieces per set is the ratio of the total number of pieces to the total number of sets.
Let x represent the number of 3-piece sets. Then the total number of pieces is ...
3x +5(5) +10(2) = 3x +45
The total number of sets is ...
x +5 +2 = x +7
We want the ratio of these numbers to be 5 pieces per set:
(3x +45)/(x +7) = 5
3x +45 = 5x +35 . . . . . multiply by (x+7)
10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . subtract (3x+35)
5 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Divya owns 5 sets with 3 pieces.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
Each 10-piece set has 5 more pieces than average, so the two of them total 10 more pieces than average.
Each 3-piece set has 2 fewer pieces than average. The total number of 3-piece sets must have a total of 10 fewer pieces than average in order to balance the excess of the 10-piece sets. That is, there must be 10/2 = 5 of the 3-piece sets to have a total lof 10 fewer pieces than average.
Altogether, the differences from average must total zero.
