Answer:
63.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The given slope and point can let us use the point-slope form of the equation for a line:
y = m(x -x1) +y1
y = -0.95(x -50) +48
We want to find the value of y for x=34.
y = -0.95(34 -50) +48 = 63.2
Jose had 63.2 miles remaining after driving 34 minutes.
Answer:
Recursive: f(1) = 1; f(n) = f(n-1)/3
Equation: f(x) = 5/3·(1/3)^(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
You know this is an exponential function because sequential lines in the table have a common ratio of f(x) values:
f(2)/f(1) = (5/9)/(5/3) = 3/9 = 1/3
f(3)/f(2) = (5/27)/(5/9) = 9/27 = 1/3
and it continues like that.
Besides telling you the function is exponential, it also tells you that each term is 1/3 of the previous term.
<h3>Recursive formula</h3>The value of f(1) is read from the table. For x = 1, that value is ...
f(1) = 5/3
As we noticed above, each term is 1/3 the previous term, so the recursive relation is ...
f(n) = (1/3)·f(n-1)
<h3>Equation</h3>The general form of the equation for a geometric (exponential) relation is ...
f(x) = f(1)·r^(x-1) . . . . . . where f(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio
For this function, we have f(1) = 5/3 and r = 1/3, so the equation is ...
f(x) = 5/3·(1/3)^(x-1)

<em>Additional comment</em>
When given values of x that count from 1, we often express the equation in terms of (x-1). That equation can be simplified so the exponent is x.
f(x) = 5·(1/3)^x
Answer:
≈ %
Step-by-step explanation:
The person will wait for no more than 20 minutes if they arrive when the bus is going to stop in 20 minutes, which means that they must arrive 25 minutes after the previous bus stops. So the probability that the person will not wait for more than 20 minutes will be which is about 44.4%.
