Determine if the table shows a linear or an exponential function

____ [38]

Answer:

<em>The table shows an exponential function</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear vs Exponential Functions</u>

A linear function is written as:

$y=mx+b$

where m and b are constants.

If a table contains a linear function, then for each pair of ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of m must be constant.

The slope can be calculated as:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

An exponential function is written as:

$y=y_o.r^x$

Where r is the ratio and yo is a constant.

If a table contains an exponential function, for two ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of r must be constant.

The ratio can be calculated as:

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[x2-x1]{\frac{y2}{y1}}$

Calculate the slope for (0,4) and (1,2):

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2-4}{1-0}=-2$

Calculate the slope for (1,2) and (2,1):

$\displaystyle m=\frac{1-2}{2-1}=-1$

Since the slope is not the same, the function is not linear.

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (1,2)

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[1-0]{\frac{1}{2}}$

The radical of index 1 is simply equal to its argument:

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}$

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (2,1)

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[2-0]{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}$

Testing other points we'll find the same ratio, thus the table is an exponential function

8090kg-4854kg=decrease in kg ----- find the difference
3236=decrease in kg
3236kg/8090kg=percent decrease ----- decrease/original amount
0.4= percent decrease ------ percent decrease in decimal form
0.4*100=percent decrease ------ multiply by 100 to get percent form
40% decrease

Is x+y+1=0 a tangent of both y^2=4x and x^2=4y parabolas?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects each parabola in one point, so is tangent to both.

For the first parabola, the point of intersection is ...

y^2 = 4(-y-1)

y^2 +4y +4 = 0

(y+2)^2 = 0

y = -2 . . . . . . . . one solution only

x = -(-2)-1 = 1

The point of intersection is (1, -2).

For the second parabola, the equation is the same, but with x and y interchanged:

x^2 = 4(-x-1)

(x +2)^2 = 0

x = -2, y = 1 . . . . . one point of intersection only

___

If the line is not parallel to the axis of symmetry, it is tangent if there is only one point of intersection. Here the line x+y+1=0 is tangent to both y^2=4x and x^2=4y.

_____

Another way to consider this is to look at the two parabolas as mirror images of each other across the line y=x. The given line is perpendicular to that line of reflection, so if it is tangent to one parabola, it is tangent to both.

What would be the profit when the price is $35?

Roman55 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total expenses stay the same at $92,039.

The income changes to 12,000 × $35 = $420,000.

So the profit is $420,000 − $92,039 = $327,961.
