Answer:

Started 100% = x pounds

30% = 75 pounds

x= 75*100÷30= 250 pounds

Starting Weight = 250 pounds

-11 X +4+ 8X -4+ 3X equals

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First what you want to do is add together the common numbers

So, take all of the X's and add them together

(-11, 8, and 3)

-11x + 8x + 3x

-3x + 3x

So that all evens out

Now just find the other values

(4 and -4)

4 - 4

This equation equals 0

Hope this helps!!!

What is the cost of each item? What is the subtotal? What is the tax? What is the total paid? Shoes: $49.99 (normally) they are

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Cost of shoes = $37.4925

Cost of jacket = $92.4533

Tax = $9.81

Total paid = $144.2458

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal price of shoes = $49.99

Discount = 25%

Discounted price:

$\$49.99 - \$49.99\times \dfrac{25}{100} = \$37.4925$

Normal price of jacket = $137.99

Discount = 33%

Discounted price:

$\$137.99 - \$137.99\times \dfrac{33}{100} = \$92.4533$

Price of pack of cookies = $4.49

No discount on cookies as per question statement.

Total amount without tax = $37.4925 + $92.4533 + $4.49 = $134.4358

Sales Tax = 7.3% of total amount without tax = 7.3% $\times$ $134.4358 = $9.81

Total paid = $134.4358 + $9.81 = <em>$144.2458</em>

The exponential function f(x) = 3(5)x grows by a factor of 25 between x = 1 and x = 3. What factor does it grow by between x = 5

notsponge [240]

<h2> Question # 1</h2>

Answer:

25 is the factor which grows by between x = 5 and x = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the exponential function

$f\left(x\right)\:=\:3\left(5\right)^x$

The growth factor between $x=1$ and $x=3$ is given by:

$\left[3\left(5\right)^3\right]\div \left[3\left(5\right)^1\right]$

$\mathrm{Calculate\:within\:parentheses}\:\left[3\left(5\right)^3\right]\::\quad 375$

$\mathrm{Calculate\:within\:parentheses}\:\left[3\left(5\right)^1\right]\::\quad 15$

So,

= $375\div \:15$

= $25$

Similarly, growth factor between $x=5$ and $x=7$ is given by:

$\left[3\left(5\right)^7\right]\div \left[3\left(5\right)^5\right]$

= $\frac{3\cdot \:5^7}{3\cdot \:5^5}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{3}{3}=1$

= $\frac{5^7}{5^5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$\frac{5^7}{5^5}=5^{7-5}$

= $5^{7-5}$

= $5^2$

= $25$

Therefore, 25 is the factor which grows by between x = 5 and x = 7.

<h2> Question # 2</h2>

Answer:

The population be in 24 years will be 27000.

Also, the population growth modeled by an exponential function as $y=A\cdot \left(b\right)^t$ is an exponential function.

The graph for $y=A\cdot \left(b\right)^t$ is also shown in attached figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a city that currently has a population of 1000 triples in size every 8 years.
what will the population be in 24 years?
Is the population growth modeled by a linear function or an exponential function?

As the city that currently has a population of 1000 triples in size every 8 years.

So, for this case

$y=A\cdot \left(b\right)^t$

where

$A$ = Initial population amount

$b$ = growth rate

$t$ = time

Substituting the values in the function

$y=A\cdot \left(b\right)^t$

$y=1000\cdot \:\:3^{\frac{1}{8}t}$

So, the population be in 24 years

$y=1000\cdot \:\:3^{\frac{1}{8}24}$

$3^{\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:24}=3^3$

$\:y=3^3\cdot 1000$

$y=1000\cdot \:\:27$

$y=27000$

Therefore, the population be in 24 years will be 27000.

Also, the population growth modeled by an exponential function as $y=A\cdot \left(b\right)^t$ is an exponential function.

<h2 /><h2> Question # 3</h2>

Answer:

the graph of the function will translate horizontally 3/5 units right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the effect on the graph of the function $f(x)=2x$ when it is replaced by f(x- 3/5).

We already have an idea that rule for horizontal translation:

Given a function $f(x)$ , and a constant c > 0, the function $g(x) = f(x - a)$ represents a horizontal shift c units to the right from f(x). The function $h(x) = f(x + a)$ represents a horizontal shift c units to the left.
