Answer:
and
.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have to different functions like the ones attached, one is a parabolic function and the other is a radical function. To know where , we just have to equalize them and find the solution for that equation:
So, applying the zero product property, we have:
Therefore, these two solutions mean that there are two points where both functions are equal, that is, when and
.
So, the input values are and
.
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
Explanation:
An exponential function is of the form
, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.
For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.
The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063. Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.
We use t as the number of years.
This gives us
