I think 1 is a but I’m not sure
3.2 is 16% of 20 you turn 20 into a decimal and multiply 3.2 by .20 and get the answer
Answer: a) AB =
; b)
; c) No, they are different; d) No, they are never the same;
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A =
, B =
. This multiplication is possible, because matrix A has 2 columns and matrix B has 2 rows. When those value are equal, the multiplication is possible.
AB =
.
=
b) BA =
.
=
c) As, we can see, parts a and b are differents.
d) With matrices, multiplication is not commutative, which means AB≠BA
Answer:
1. The equation represent an exponential decay
2. The rate of the exponential decay is -3×2.5ˣ·㏑(2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
When a function a(t) = a₀(1 + r)ˣ has exponential growth, the logarithm of x grows with time such that;
log a(t) = log(a₀) + x·log(1 + r)
Hence in the equation -3 ≡ a₀, (1 + r) ≡ 2.5 and y ≡ a(t). Plugging in the values in the above equation for the condition of an exponential growth, we have;
log y = log(-3) + x·log(2.5)
Therefore, since log(-3) is complex, the equation does not represent an exponential growth hence the equation represents an exponential decay.
The rate of the exponential decay is given by the following equation;

Hence the rate of exponential decay is -3×2.5ˣ × ㏑(2.5)
