It will be 0.005.

Because it’s 0.06–0.055=0.005

Answer:

$r=\frac{3t}{t-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the formula:

$t=\frac{r}{r-3}$

And we want to make r the subject of the formula.

So, first, let's multiply both sides by (r-3). The right will cancel. So:

$t(r-3)=r$

Distribute the t:

$rt-3t=r$

Subtract rt from both sides. The left cancels:

$-3t=r-rt$

Factor out an r from the right:

$-3t=r(1-t)$

Divide both sides by (1-t). The right cancels:

$\frac{-3t}{1-t}=r$

Simplify the negatives:

$\frac{3t}{t-1}=r$

Flip:

$r=\frac{3t}{t-1}$

And we're done!

Write an exponential function to describe the given sequence of numbers, assuming that the first number in the sequence correspo

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$y = 5(6) {}^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A exponential function is represented by

$y = ab {}^{x}$

where a is the vertical stretch and b is the base and x is the nth

power of x

Since the first number corresponds with zero, that means our y intercept is the first number.

This means when x=0 , y=5 so let find the value of 5.

$5 = ab {}^{0}$

b to the 0th power equal 1 so

$5 = a \times 1$

$a = 5$

Our equation is for now

$y = 5b {}^{x}$

Now let plug in 1,30

$30 = 5b {}^{1}$

Divide 5 by both sides

$6 = b {}^{1}$

Anything to the 1st power is itself so b equal 6.

So our equation is

$y = 5(6) {}^{x}$
