Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use 2 coordinates from the table along with the standard form for an exponential function to write the equation that models that data. The standard form for an exponential function is
where x and y are coordinates from the table, a is the initial value, and b is the growth/decay rate. I will use the first 2 coordinates from the table: (0, 3) and (1, 1.5)
Solving first for a:
. Sine anything in the world raised to a power of 0 is 1, we can determine that
a = 3. Using that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate I chose, I can then solve for b:
. Since b to the first is just b:
1.5 = 3b so
b = .5
Filling in our model:
Since the value for b is greater than 0 but less than 1 (in other words a fraction smaller than 1), this table represents a decay function.
Answer:
x/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the inverse function you need to leave the x alone and then switch variables ( f(x) = y)
f(x) = 5x
y = 5x
y/5 = x
Now that x is alone you switch the x for y and the y for x and you get:
x/5 = y
And this new y is the inverse function of f(x) ( f^-1(x))
f^-1(x) = x/5
1/2 of a mile is divided equally into 3 parts- we need to find the distance between the second and third sign.
1/2 x 1/3 is 1/6.
This means that each sign is 1/6th of a mile apart.

Answer:
15th term =29/3
16th term = 31/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given an arithmetic sequence with the first term a1 and the common difference d , the nth (or general) term is given by an=a1+(n−1)d .
First we find the 15th term
n=15
a1=1/3
d=1 - 1/3 = 2/3
Solution
1/3+(15-1)2/3
1/3+28/3
(1+28)/3
29/3
Lets find the 16th term
1/3+(16-1)2/3
1/3+30/3
(1+30)/3
31/3
