Answer:
Option 2 is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been provided a table of values of an exponential function and we are asked to find out the decay factor of the function.
Upon looking at our table we can see that every time x increases by one our y value remains one-third of the previous value.
To find out decay factor we will subtract 1/3 from 1.
Therefore, decay factor of the exponential function is 
and option 2 is correct choice.
Answer:
slope = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 12, - 3)
m = 
= 
= 0
1st number = n
2nd number = n+1
3rd number = n+2
sum of the squares of 3 consecutive numbers is 116
n² + (n+1)² + (n+2)² = 116
n² + (n+1)(n+1) + (n+2)(n+2) = 116
n² + [n(n+1)+1(n+1)] + [n(n+2)+2(n+2)] = 116
n² + n² + n + n + 1 + n² + 2n + 2n + 4 = 116
n² + n² + n² + n + n + 2n + 2n + 1 + 4 = 116
3n² + 6n + 5 = 116 Last option.
This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:
where:
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate
Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.
Now, we can calculate r:
![r = \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bt%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs%7D%7Ba%7D%20%7D%20)
![r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B560.50%7D%7B245%7D%20%7D%20)
= 1.18
Therefore, the correct answers are
a = 245 and
r = 1.18
Answer:
0.272727… = 27/99
Step-by-step explanation:
(since 27 is the repeating part of the decimal and it contains 2 digits). We can reduce this fraction (a process that we'll talk more about in a future article) by noticing that we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 9 to get 0.272727… = 27/99 = 3/11.
