You are correct! The problems that can arise with a function domain are:
In this case, you have a denominator, and you don't have roots nor logarithms. This means that your only concern must be the denominator, specifically, it cannot be zero.
And you simply have
So, the domain of this function includes every number except 3.
Answer:
The initial mass of the sample was 16 mg.
The mass after 5 weeks will be about 0.0372 mg.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write an exponential function to model the situation.
Let the initial amount be A. The standard exponential function is given by:
Where r is the rate of growth/decay.
Since the half-life of Palladium-100 is four days, r = 1/2. We will also substitute t/4 for t to to represent one cycle every four days. Therefore:
After 12 days, a sample of Palladium-100 has been reduced to a mass of two milligrams.
Therefore, when x = 12, P(x) = 2. By substitution:
Solve for A. Simplify:
Simplify:
Thus, the initial mass of the sample was:
5 weeks is equivalent to 35 days. Therefore, we can find P(35):
About 0.0372 mg will be left of the original 16 mg sample after 5 weeks.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change can be found by using the following formula
Since the interval goes from -7 to 2, we should find the y-values that correspond to x=-7 and x=2.
By inspection of the graph, we can clearly see that when x is -7, y is -7 as well and when x is 2, y is 5.
Now that we know this, we can simply plug these values into the formula!
Good luck!
