Answer:

y = 8(5) {}^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal exponential function is in form

y = ab {}^{x}

let plug in 0,8

8 = ab {}^{0}

b^0=1

so

8 = a \times 1 =  \:  \:  \:  \: a = 8

So so far our equation is

y = 8b {}^{x}

So now let plug in 2,200

200 = 8b {}^{2}

Divide 8 by both sides and we get

25 = b {}^{2}

\sqrt{25}

Which equal 5 so b equal 5. So our equation is

y = 8(5) {}^{x}

Answer:

y=8(5)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We want an exponential function that goes through the two points (0, 8) and (2, 200).

Since a point is (0, 8), this means that y = 8 when x = 0. Therefore:

8=a(b)^0

Simplify:

a=8

So we now have:

y = 8( b )^x

Likewise, the point (2, 200) tells us that y = 200 when x = 2. Therefore:

200=8(b)^2

Solve for b. Dividing both sides by 8 yields:

b^2=25

Thus:

b=5

Hence, our exponential function is:

y=8(5)^x

A grapefruit is 8% heavier than an orange, and an apple is 10% lighter than the orange.
likoan [24]
Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange

a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple 

</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span> 
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

In a 5-kilometer race, the average finishing time was 32 minutes, with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. What percentage of the
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

0% of the racers finished in 28 minutes or less

Step-by-step explanation:

There is the need to understand the meaning of the standard deviation in this question.

The <em>standard deviation expresses by how much the finishing time differed from the mean/average time</em>. So, it tells us that the time range for all of the racers can be written as Mean ± Standard Deviation = 32 ± 2 minutes = (32 - 2) to (32 + 2) = 30 to 34 minutes.

So, all of the racers finished in 30 minutes or more, and no one finished in less than thirty minutes.

The questions asked to know o those who finished in 28 minutes or less, and that does not exist in this given data, so 0% of the racers finished in 28 minutes or less
