Answer:

First term = 15

Second term = 9

Third term =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

First term = 3x

Second term = 3x - 6

Third term =  \frac{1}{5} (3x) =  \frac{3x}{5}

Also,

3x -  \frac{3x}{5}  = 12

\frac{15x}{5}  -  \frac{3x}{5}  = 12

\frac{15x - 3x}{5}  = 12

15x - 3x = 12 \times 5

12x = 60

x =  \frac{60}{12}

x = 5

With the value of x, we conclude that the first three terms are as follows:

First term = 3x = 3×5 = 15

Second term = 3x - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9

Third term = \frac{3x}{5} =\frac{15}{5}= 3

Angela shared a cab with her friends. When they arrived at their destination, they evenly divided the $j fare
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Total  friends = 3

fare = $ J

She also paid $5 tip

So there is J amount of money splitted into 3 friends.

That means you divide J/3 .

After Angela also  pays additional tip of $5.

That means you also add 5.

So the expression for how much Angela pay in total is: J/3 + 5

What is the decay factor of the exponential function<br> represented by the table?
bulgar [2K]

Given:

The table of values of an exponential function.

To find:

The decay factor of the exponential function.

Solution:

The general form of an exponential function is:

y=ab^x              ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and 0 is the decay factor and b>1 is the growth factor.

The exponential function passes through the point (0,6). Substituting x=0,y=6 in (i), we get

6=ab^0

6=a(1)

6=a

The exponential function passes through the point (1,2). Substituting x=1,y=2,a=6 in (i), we get

2=6(b)^1

2=6b

\dfrac{2}{6}=b

\dfrac{1}{3}=b

Here, b=\dfrac{1}{3} lies between 0 and 1. Therefore, the decay factor of the given exponential function is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Hence, the correct option is A.
