Answer:
Option A
f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of gnats the scientists have gathered
At 0 hours, they gathered 12 gnats.
Checking all the options, applying x = 0 makes the index part become 1 (Anything raised to the power zero is 1).
So, we have the following functions
f(x) = 12.5
f(x) = 12.6
f(x) = 6.2
f(x) = 1.6
This has reduced our work, as we can screen out options C and D, they are too far from 12. This leaves us with option A and B.
At 1 hour, they gathered 20 gnats.
Checking options A and B
A. f(x) = 12.5(1.6)
= 20
B. f(x) = 12.6(6.2)
By inspection, 12 × 6 is already 72,
12.6 × 6.2 will be more.
By these, we can conclude that f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x has the best models the number of gnats the scientists have gathered after the number of hours listed in the given table.
Answer:
The quotient is x² + 6x +3
Remainder = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>
Given Polynomial equation
f(x) = x³+5x²−9x−7
By using synthetic division
<em> x = 2 </em> 1 5 -9 -7
<u> 0 1 12 6</u>
<u> 1 6 3 </u><em><u> -1 </u></em><u> </u>
The quotient is x² + 6x +3
Remainder = -1
Answer:
The answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us go through each of the points one by one:
The label A represents the radius of the base of the cone.
The label B represents the height of the cone.
The label C represents the origin of the base of the cone.
The label D represents the vertex of the cone (where the cone ends).
So it is choice B that represents the height of the cone.
<em>P.S: it is tempting to pick label D to represent the height, but since label A already points to a line that is the height of the cone, we don't pick Label D.</em>
Answer:
The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> the number of pounds of apples
(x-2) -----> the number of pounds of grapes
we know that
Solve for x
so
therefore
The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5
