Given:

f(x) is an exponential function.

f(-3.5)=25, f(6)=33

To find:

The value of f(6.5).

Solution:

Let the exponential function is

f(x)=ab^x         ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

We have, f(-3.5)=25. So, put x=-3.5 and f(x)=25 in (i).

25=ab^{-3.5}         ...(ii)

We have, f(6)=33. So, put x=6 and f(x)=33 in (i).

33=ab^{6}         ...(iii)

On dividing (iii) by (ii), we get

\dfrac{33}{25}=\dfrac{ab^{6}}{ab^{-3.5}}

1.32=b^{9.5}

(1.32)^{\frac{1}{9.5}}=b

1.0296556=b

b\approx 1.03

Putting b=1.03 in (iii), we get

33=a(1.03)^{6}

33=a(1.194)

\dfrac{33}{1.194}=a

a\approx 27.63

Putting a=27.63 and b=1.03 in (i), we get

f(x)=27.63(1.03)^x

Therefore, the required exponential function is f(x)=27.63(1.03)^x.

A community swimming pool is a rectangular prism that is 30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. The wading pool is half as
topjm [15]

Answer:

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of rectangular prism, we get the respective formulas for the volumes of the community swimming pool and the wadling pool, respectively:

Community swimming pool

V_{c} = l\cdot w\cdot h (1)

Wading pool

V_{w} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w (2)

Where:

l – Length of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

h – Depth of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

w – Width of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

V_{c} – Volume of the community swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

V_{w} – Volume of the wading swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

The ratio of the volume of the community swimming pool to the volume of the wadling pool is:

\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{l\cdot w \cdot h}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w} (3)

\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4} }

\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = 4

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Find the product: (30 gallons 3 quarts 1 pint) × 5
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest!!!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Multiply each by 5, then make any necessary conversions to the other units of measurement (ie. gallon, quart, etc)

30 gallons x 5= 150 gallons

3 quarts x 5= 15 quarts

1 pint x 5= 5 pints

Step 2:

CONVERSION

1 gallon=4 quarts

1 gallon= 8 pints

1 quart= 2 pints

GALLONS: 150 gallons

QUARTS:

=15 quarts ÷ # quarts in gallon

=15/4= 3 gallons 3 quarts

PINTS:

=5 pints ÷ # pints in quart

=5/2= 2 quarts 1 pints

TOTALS:

150 gallons

3 gallons 3 quarts

2 quarts 1 pint

Since we have 5 additional quarts, and we know that 4 quarts=1 gallon, we need to convert again.

=3 quarts + 2 quarts

=5 quarts ÷ # quarts in gallon

=5/4 = 1 gallon 1 quart

FINAL TOTALS

GALLONS: 150 + 3 + 1= 154 gallons

QUARTS: 1 quart

PINTS: 1 pints

The smallest natural number divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8 and 9 is____.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need 2 * 2 * 2 for the smallest number to be divisible by 8 with all the others.

You will need 3 * 3  for the smallest number to be divisible by 9 with all the others.

Finally you will need 1 five

The smallest number divisible by all of these is 2*2*2*3*3*5 = 360

  • 360/2 = 180 works
  • 360/3 = 120 works
  • 360/5 = 72   works
  • 360/6 = 60 works
  • 360/8 = 45 works
  • 360/9 = 40 works.

There is no smaller number below 360 which will work.
