Answer:

a) 600

b) see below

c) 1.26 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The value of y when x=0 is the coefficient of the exponential term:

y = 600·3^(-0) = 600·1 = 600

There were 600 atoms to start.

b) see attached for a graph

c) The graph shows 150 atoms at t = 1.26, about 1.26 hours after the start of time counting.

If you want to find that value algebraically, substitute for y and solve for x. Logarithms are involved.

150 = 600·3^(-x)

150/600 = 3^(-x)

log(1/4) = -x·log(3)

x = -log(1/4)/log(3) = log(4)/log(3) ≈ 1.2618595

After about 1.26 hours, there were 150 atoms.

Answer:

the points are (35,30) you may need to search a graph online i used desmos

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x= Jacksons Cups y= Lucius Cups2. x - y= 5 6x + 3y = 300Substitution: 6 (y+5) + 3y = 300 6y + 30 + 3y = 300 9y = 270 dived both by 9 y=30 Sub y for other equation x - 30 = 5 add 30 to both sides x = 35 Answer: (35, 30) Graphing: x- y = 56x+ 3y = 300solve both for y y = x-5 6x + 3y = 300minus 6x from both sides the points are in y = mx + b y= 1x -5 y= -2x + 100 I will also leave the ss of the graph in the comments if you cannot see it My labels for the x-axis is Jacksons cups and y Is luscious cups. Elimination:x - y = 5 6x + 3y = 300 First I manipulated the equations by the following - 6 (x - y = 5 ) 1(6x + 3y = 300 ) -6x + 6y = -30 6x + 3y = 300 The 6 x's cancel and add the y's and real numbers together 9y = 270 dived both by 9 y= 30 Sub y for other equation x - 30 = 6 add 30 to both sides x= 30 The points are (35, 30) The solution is (35,30)They represent how many cups they sold. 35 is Jackson cups and 30 is Lucious's cups

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

$x\ge 2y$

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes $=\dfrac{3}{10}$ hour, then he can make y arrangements in $\dfrac{3}{10}y$ hours.

A florist can make a simple arrangement in 10 minutes $=\dfrac{1}{6}$ hour, so he can make x arrangements in $\dfrac{1}{6}x$ hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

$\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40$

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines $x=2y$ and $\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40$
