Look at it this way:
g=2
H=7
so it would be 2*5-7*3
than just do the multiplication first so 2*5=10 and 7*3=21 than subtract the two 10-21=-11
The other endpoint is (1, -17).
The midpoint formula is:

Using our midpoint and endpoint, we have:

For the first equation (to find the x-coordinate) we will multiply both sides by 2:

Subtract 11 from both sides:
12 - 11 = 11+x₂ - 11
1 = x₂
For the second equation (the y-coordinate) we multiply both sides by 2:

Add 5 to both sides:
-22+5 = -5+y₂ + 5
-17 = y₂
This means that (x₂, y₂) is at (1, -17).
Answer:
1. The growth rate is 2
2. The sample is losing half its mass, so the decay factor is 1/2 or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth and decay factor in an exponential function is the number that is being multiplied to the power of x
- It is a growth rate when that number is greater than 1
- It is a decay rate when the number is less than 1
- If it's 1 then it's not growing or decaying
- If it's 0 you will have an answer of 0
4x-4>20
Step 1: Add four to both sides
4x-4+4>20+4
4x>24
Step 2: Divide both sides by 4
4x divided by 4 and 24 divided by 4
Answer: x>6
Kahal accidentally subtracted instead of adding. He made a mistake in step 2.
