Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The change represents the decay

The percentage rate of decrease is 6.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the exponential growth is y = a  , where

a is the initial value

r is the rate of increase in decimal ⇒ (1 + r) > 1

The formula of the exponential decay is y = a  , where

a is the initial value

r is the rate of decrease in decimal ⇒ (1 - r) < 1

Let us solve the question.

∵ y = 91

→ Compare it with the forms above

∴ a = 91

∵ The rate of change is 0.938

∵ 0.938 < 1

→ That means the rate of change is decreasing

∴ The function y = 91   represents exponential decay

∴ The change represents the decay

→ From the 2nd form above

∵ (1 - r ) = 0.938

→ Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 1 - 1 - r = 0.938 - 1

∴ - r = - 0.062

→ Divide both sides by -1

∴ r = 0.062

→ Multiply it by 100% to change it to a percentage

∵ 0.062 × 100% = 6.2%

∴ r = 6.2%

∴ The percentage of decrease is 6.2%

For numbers 14a-14d , tell which expressions require you to rename mixed numbers before you can subtract. Find each difference.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

14b and 14d require renaming mixed numbers; 14a) 3 3/20; 14b) 2 1/8; 14c) 1 13/24; 14d) 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

14a) First we find the least common denominator (LCD).  The first thing that both 5 and 4 will divide into is 20; this is our LCD.

It takes 4 5's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 4, we have 5 8/20.  It takes 5 4's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 5, we have 2 5/20.  Subtracting these,

5 8/20 - 2 5/20 = 3 3/20

14b) We must write the whole number 5 as a mixed number with a denominator of 8; 5 = 4 8/8.  This gives us

4 8/8 - 2 7/8 = 2 1/8

14c) The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24.  It takes 8 3's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 8, we have 7 16/24.  It takes 3 8's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 3, we have 6 3/24.  Subtracting we have

7 16/24 - 6 3/24 = 1 13/24.

14d) The LCD of 6 and 3 is 6.  Since the first mixed number has a denominator of 6, we leave it:  9 1/6.  It takes 2 3's to make 6; multiplying the numerator by 2, we have 5 4/6.  Subtracting we would have

9 1/6 - 5 4/6

We are subtracting a larger fraction from a smaller one.  This means we borrow a whole from the whole number, making it 8; this makes the fraction (6+1)/6 = 7/6.  This gives us

8 7/6 - 5 4/6 = 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

Liula [17]

Answer:

A.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 4/12 is simplified to 1/3 and 2/4 would be simplified to 1/2. 1/2 > 1/4
