For which function does f decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1

Mathematics

LenaWriter [7]1 year ago

Answer:

f(x) = 0.85^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:

f(x) =  {(1 - 0.15)}^{x}

We simplify the parenthesis to get:

f(x) = 0.85^{x}

Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is

f(x) =  {0.85}^{x}

The second choice is correct.

anzhelika [568]
Answer is C
14.2+6.5(p+3q)-4.05q
14.2+6.5p+19.5q-4.05q
14.2+6.5p+15.45q→6.5p+15.45q+14.2
so the answer is C

OK.  You asked for it.  Here we go.
First, let's gather up the tools we might use ...
some things that we know about triangles:

-- Every triangle:  Area = (1/2) x (length of the base) x (the height)

-- Isosceles triangle:  It has two sides that are the same length.

-- Right triangle:  It has one right angle in it. 
The sides that meet at the right angle are called the "legs". 
They form a corner there, like this      _|     .
-------------------------------------------
Now we can start using these tools to hack away at the problem.
Farmer Ted has an isosceles right triangle garden.
The problem asks us to figure out how long the legs are.

Before he changes anything, it looks like this   _|   and both of
those sides are the same length.  Call it  'x' until we figure out
what it really is.

Notice that one of them is the base of the triangle, and the other one
is the height.  So the area of this triangle is

                           (1/2) (x) (x)  or  (1/2) x² .

-------------------------------

Farmer Ted is never satisfied.  Suddenly, one day without warning, he
comes along and makes the garden bigger.  He makes one of the legs 
7  ft longer, and he makes the other one  5 ft longer.

Now the length of one leg is  (x + 7)  and the other one is (x + 5) .
They're still the base and height of the triangle, so the area of the
bigger garden is
                           (1/2) (x + 7) (x + 5).

The problem says that this area is 55 square feet more than the original
area, so look out, here comes the <em>equation </em>:

                       new area         =      old area +  bigger

                (1/2) (x + 7) (x + 5)  =      (1/2) x²  +  55

Locked in the mysterious shadowy crevices of this equation is
everything we need in order to figure out the original length of the legs ...
what we called  'x'.

At this point, we can forget about Farmer Ted, forget about the garden,
and just go back to our laboratory with this equation and solve it to find  'x'.

Let's take it slow and easy, one little step at a time:

                                     <u>(1/2) (x + 7) (x + 5)  =  (1/2) x² + 55</u>

Multiply each side by 2 :         (x + 7) (x + 5)  =         x² +  110

Expand (FOIL) the left side:     x² + 12x + 35  =         x² + 110

Subtract  x²  from each side:          12x + 35  =                 110

Subtract  35  from each side:          12x         =                  75

Divide each side by  12 :                           <em>x  =  6.25 feet</em>

==============================================

OK.  That's a very nice number.  How do we know whether it's correct ?
Let's check it out, and see if it fits the story:

Original area = (1/2 x base x height) = (0.5 x 6.25 x 6.25) = 19.53125 sq ft

One new leg = (6.25 + 7) =   13.25 ft
Other new leg = (6.25 + 5) = 11.25 ft

New area = (1/2 x base x height) = (0.5 x 13.25 x 11.25) = 74.53125 sq ft

How much bigger is the new area ?

         74.53125 - 19.53125  =  <em>55 sq ft  </em>    yay !

When we start with legs that are  6.25-ft  and go through the whole story,
the new area is exactly what the problem says it was.  So  6.25-ft  is the
correct original length of the legs, before Farmer Ted messed with it.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

An insurance company reported that, on average claims for a certain medical procedure are $942. an independent organization constructed a 95% confidence interval of ($930, $950) for the average amount claimed for the particular medical procedure. what conclusion best evaluates the truthfulness of the number reported by the insurance company?

a) with 95% certainty, the average claim for this medical procedure is $942.

b) with 95% certainty, the average claim for this medical procedure is not $942.

c) the confidence interval is consistent with an average claim of $942 for this medical procedure

Solution:

Confidence interval is used to express how confident we are that the population parameter that we are looking for is contained in a range of given values. Looking at the given confident interval, the lower limit is $930 and the upper limit is $950. We can see that the population mean, $942 lies within these values. The correct option would be

c) the confidence interval is consistent with an average claim of $942 for this medical procedure
