Identify the following for the exponential function y = 5(1/4)x.

a. Growth or decay?

b. Initial value

c. Growth/decay factor

d. Growth/decay rate (as a percentage)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)

Decay

B)

Initial value is 5.

C)

The decay factor is 0.75.

D)

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is given by:

[tex]f(x)=a(r)^x[/tex]

Where a is the initial value and r is the rate.

We have the function:

[tex]y=5(1/4)^x[/tex]

So, a = 5 and r = 1/4.

A)

Remember the guidelines:

It is exponential growth if r > 1. And it is exponential decay if r < 1. (And r must be positive.)

Our rate is 1/4 or 0.25.

It is less than 1, so our function is exponential decay.

B)

The initial value is the value in front of our rate.

So, our initial value in this case is 5.

C)

The decay factor will be 1 - r, where r is our rate.

Since our rate is 0.25, our decay factor is 1 - 0.25 = 0.75.

So, we are decaying by a factor of 0.75.

D)

To convert a decimal to a percent, we move the decimal dot two places to the rght and add a percent sign.

So, 0.75 will be 75.0 % or smply 75%.

It is a 75% decay.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You take all the numbers you have and add them up. Make it simple by adding smaller numbers together. Then once you have the total which is 65 you divide it by the total of numbers you have and then round because after dividing you get 8.125 and the safest way to round is to 9.

The Harvey family stayed at a hotel for n nights. The cost was $80 per night plus a one-time fee of $20 because they brought their dog. Which expression represent the total cost of their hotel stay.

80 + 20n
80 + 20 + n

Answers

Answer:

80n + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

20 stays the same because it's a one time fee. Then, for every night the Harvey family stays, it costs them eighty dollars. So, it's 80n + 20

Answer: 80n+20

Step-by-step explanation:

80 is the cost of nights you stayed but you don’t know the number of nights they dated so you place n next to 80 and they payed an additional 20 fee so you add that to 80n

There are 40 working hours in a week and 52 weeks a year. How much does Nate need to make an hour to stay out of debt if it costs him $900 to live each month?

Answers

Answer: $5.19

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 40 working hours in a week and 52 weeks in a year, 40 * 52 should be the amount of working hours in a year.

40 * 52 = 2080 working hours

Nate needs $900 to live each month and there are 12 months in a year, so $900 * 12 would equal how much he spends per year.

$900 * 12 = $10800

Divide $10800 by 2080 working hours to get how much he needs to make per working hour.

10800/2080 = approximately 5.19, rounded down from the nearest hundredth

He needs to make $5.19 per hour, so the answer is the last option.

The correct answer is 5.19

Answer:  C: cubic expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Classify the expression: 5x³ + 2x − 3

we know that

Polynomials can be classified two different ways - by the number of terms and by their degree.

so

a) By the number of terms is a trinomial, because has three terms

b) By their degree The degree of the polynomial is found by looking at the term with the highest exponent on its variable

The highest exponent is 3 so this is a 3rd degree trinomial  

therefore

A Mars rover descended from the rim of a crater at a constant rate. After 2 days, the rover's elevation was 106 meters. After 6 days, its elevation was 48 meters. What elevation did the rover start at? ____meters Complete the equation that describes the relationship between the rover's elevation in meters, E, and the elapsed time in days, t. Write your answer using whole numbers or decimals rounded to the nearest tenth. E= ___ t+____

Answers

Answer:

135

E = - 14.5t + 135

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, descent rate is constant ;

Elevation after 2 days = 106 m

Elevation after 6 days = 48 m

Let

Rate of elevation per day= x

Initial elevation = a

Hence,

a - 2x = 106 - - - (1)

a - 6x = 48 ___(2)

-2x + 6x = 106 - 48

4x = 58

x = 58/4

x = 14.5 meters per day

Hence, initial elevation :

a - 2(14.5) = 106

a - 29 = 106

a = 106 + 29

a = 135

Relationship between Rover's elevation, E and elapsed time, t

E = - 14.5t + 135

-14.5 = rate per day

In the diagram Shown a 2-foot wide flower border surrounds the heart-shaped pond. What is the area of the border?

!!PLEASE HELP!!

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square = 144 sq ft

Area of circle = πr² = 36π sq ft

Total area = (144+36π) sq ft

Square section of pond is 10 ft by 10 ft, area = 100 sq ft

Circular area of pond has diameter of 8 ft.

Area = πr² = 16π sq ft

Area of pond = (100+16π) sq ft

Area of border = (144+36π)-(100+16π) = (44+20π) sq ft
