The function that has a range of y<3 is y=-(2)* + 3
Answer: Option(c)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Solution:
Lets shall evaluate the options given in the question
In Option 1; y=3(2) that is

So the value of y>3 and thus option 1 fails
In option 2; y=2(3)*
This expression indicates that the power of 3 all result in positive values and sometimes zero such that for
and for values other than one y will be greater than 3. so option 2 fails.
In option 4; y=2x(-3)
On solving we get 
Though it is less than 3 but it has an negative value. So option 4 fails.
In option 3; y=-(2)* + 3
This option indicates for all power values of -2 the y value will be less than 3 such that
For power value 0 we get

y=0+3=3
And for the power value 1 we get

y=-2+3=1
So in the both the occasion the value of y<3 than and it is not an negative value and thus option 3 satisfy the functional range y<3.
Result:
Thus the function that has a range of y<3 is y=-(2)* + 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The time constant of the element X is:


The decay function has the following form:




Step-by-step explanation:
1. If you are trying to find a linear equation from those two points, use the equation y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2-y1 just means the second point's y coordinate minus the first point's y coordinate (same goes for x2-x1).
2. So if you were to plug the coordinates into the equation, it would be: -8-8 over 8-(-1).
3. Solve to get -16/9 because -8-8=-16 and 8-(-1)=9, so -16/9. -16/9 is the slope of the line in the y=mx +b equation.
4. It would be written like y=-16/9x +b
5. Now we need to find b which is the y-intercept. To find this pick one of the points (we'll just do (-1,8)), and plug in the x and y coordinates and solve for b.
- 8=-16/9(-1) +b
- multiply -16/9 by -1 which is 16/9
- subtract from both sides for it to be 8-16/9 on the left side which is 6 2/9, and that is b
6. The complete equation is now y=-16/9x + 6 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-3)=5(x-3)+10
=> 2x - 6 = 5x - 15 + 10
=> -6 + 15 -10 = 5x - 2x
=> 5x -2x = 15 - 6 - 10
=> 3x = 15 - 16
=> 3x = -1

Answer: 8000
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the expression 10³ × 2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks.
The number of bacteria that will be present in 3 weeks will then be:
= 10³ × 2^w
= 10³ × 2³
= 1000 × 8
= 8000 bacterias
