To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.
At x = 0 y = 567
at x = 1 y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)
Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:
y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )
Answer: The equation is h(x) = 45(1/5)^x
This is the same as h(x) = 45(0.2)^x because 1/5 = 0.2
=======================================================
Explanation:
We'll start with y = a*b^x, and plug in x = 0 to find that,
y = a*b^x
y = a*b^0
y = a*1
y = a
The table says that y = 45 is the case when x = 0. So that must mean a = 45.
The value of ''a' is the y intercept and it's the initial value.
---------
So the equation y = a*b^x updates to y = 45*b^x
Let's plug in (x,y) = (1,9) and solve for b
y = 45*b^x
9 = 45*b^1
9 = 45b
45b = 9
b = 9/45
b = 1/5
b = 0.2
Therefore, the equation in fraction form is y = 45(1/5)^x
That same equation in decimal form is y = 45(0.2)^x
---------
To verify the equation, plug in various values of x and you should get y values that are shown in the table.
For instance, plug in x = 2 to find that
y = 45(0.2)^x
y = 45(0.2)^2
y = 45(0.04)
y = 1.8
which matches with the table. That verifies the 5th row. I'll let you verify the other rows.
$10 because 2 and 3 add together and subtract 15 equals 10
Answer:
Marks age is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Sunita's age is x then Mark's age = 4x/3 years.
In 12 years their ages will be (x + 12) and 4x/3 + 12.
So (x + 12) / (4x/3 + 12) = 5/6
6(x + 12) = 5(4x/3 + 12)
6x + 72 = 20x / 3 + 60
72 - 60 = 20x/3 - 6x Multiply through by 3:
216 - 180 = 20x - 18x
2x = 36
x = 18 = Sunita's age
So Mark's age is 18 * 4/3 = 24 years.
