The rate of growth of the exponential function is determined by the

growth factor.

The correct responses are;

  • 1. Exponential function for Ben's post shares is <u>f(x) = 2·3ˣ</u>
  • 2. The exponential function for Carter's post shares is <u>f(x) = 10·2ˣ</u>
  • 3. Please find attached the graph of the exponential function of each of the students posts shares
  • 4. The number of shares received by Amber
  • On Day 3 = <u>192 shares</u>
  • On Day 10 = <u>3,145,728 shares</u>

  • The number of shares received by Ben
  • On Day 3 = <u>54 shares</u>
  • On Day 10 = <u>118,098 shares</u>

  • The number of shares received by Carter
  • On Day 3 = <u>80 shares</u>
  • On Day 10 = <u>10,240 shares</u>

  • 5. The graph of the new function is a translation of the graph of the original function 45 units in the upward direction.

  • 6. Based on the result, the post that travels fastest is Amber's post that has the highest growth factor of 4.

  • 7. A post with <u>fewer friends and more shares is preferable</u>.

Reasons:

1. The general form of the exponential function is; Shares, f(x) = a·bˣ

On day 0, we have; x = 0, f(0) = 2, which gives;

f(0) = a·b⁰ = a = 2

a = 2

At x = 1, f(1) = 6

f(1) = a·b¹ = 2 × b¹ = 6

∴ b = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

b = 3

Which gives;

The the exponential function for Ben's social media post as; <u>f(x) = 2·3ˣ</u>

2. The number of friends with which Carter shares his post = 10 friends

Number of people each of the 10 friends share their post = 2 people

Which gives;

The initial value, a = 10

The growth factor, <em>b</em> = 2

The exponential function is therefore, <u>f(x) = 10·2ˣ</u>

3. Please find attached the graph of each of the exponential functions created with MS Excel

4. On Day 3, we have;

The number of shares Amber's post receives, f(3) = 3×4³ = <u>192 (shares)</u>

For Ben, we have, f(3) = 2 × 3³ = <u>54 (shares)</u>

Carter's posts gives, f(3) = 10 × 2³ = <u>80 (shares)</u>

On Day 10, we have;

The number of shares Amber's post receives, f(10) = 3 × 4¹⁰ = 3,145,728 (shares)

Ben's post gets, f(10) = 2 × 3¹⁰ = <u>118,098 (shares)</u>

Carter's post gets f(10) = 10 × 2¹⁰ = <u>10,240 (shares)</u>

5. The new function is f(x) = 3·(4)ˣ + 45

The function of the original graph of Amber's photo share is <u>f(x) = 3·(4)ˣ</u>

The difference is; 3·(4)ˣ + 45 - 3·(4)ˣ = 45

Therefore, the values of the new function are 45 more than the values of the original function

Therefore;

The graph of the new function is translated upwards by 45

6. Based on the analyses of the result, the student posts that travel the fastest is the one with the highest growth factor, which is Amber's post

7. Given that the aim is to get more social, the best option is to have <u>more shares and fewer friends</u>.

Answer:

a > 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To ride the go karts you need to be OVER 12 years old. We are going to use < and > because you can't be 12 and younger. The hint is OVER because this essentially means that the variable a HAS to be bigger than 12. Thus is why the ineuality is a > 12.

Best of Luck!

Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.at this rate,how much would it cost Sam to buy 12 stamps
allsm [11]

Answer: It costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.

Thus, the cost of 18 stamps = $8.28

Then the cost of 1 stamp=\frac{8.28}{18}

Thus, the cost of 1 stamp=$0.46

With the same rate , the cost of 12 stamps=0.46\times12

Therefore, the cost of 12 stamps= $5.52

hence, it costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.

Plz help me with this
goldenfox [79]
Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.
