2 because if you divided 8/12 by 2/6=2
Answer: the number of VHS movie rentals in 2011 is expected to be 1.13 million.
The table was not provided, but it is not necessary since the exponential regression equation was provided.
The exponential regression equation is the exponential function that best fits the set of data and it is given in the form:
y = a · bˣ
where:
a = initial value of the model
b = exponential grow or decay
x = time passed from the beginning
In our case,
y = 9.92 · (0.8208)ˣ
where:
a = 9.92
b = 0.8208
Since 0 < b < 1 we have an exponential decay, confirming that the number of VHS is decreasing with time.
We can then use this equation to infer the number of VHS movies in 2011.
As a first thing, calculate how many years from the beginning (2000) would pass:
x = 2011 - 2000 = 11
Now, substitute this value in the equation:
<span>y = 9.92 · (0.8208)</span>¹¹
= 1.13
In 2011 we can predict there will be only 1.13 million VHS movie rentals.
Treat each (time, money) pair as an (x, y) pair, and get the slope of the line:
For Rosita, (5, 128), (7, 164): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (164 - 128)/(7 - 5) = 18, implying that she earns $18/hr. The y-intercept is calculated as: y = 18x + b, 128 = 18*5 + b, b = $38, meaning that she started with $38. Rosita's equation is y = 18x + 38.
For Garth, (3, 124), (8, 194): m = (194 - 124)/(8 - 3) = 14. For 124 = 14*3 + b, b = $82. Garth's equation is y = 14x + 82
To find out when they will have saved the same amount, both equations would have the same y-value:
18x + 38 = 14x + 82
4x = 44
x = 11 hours
y = 18*11 + 38 = $236 (alternatively, y = 14*11 + 82 = 236)
This means that Rosita and Garth will have both saved $236 after 11 hours of working.
Answer:
The plot is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot the function y(x)=e^–0.5x sin(2x) for 100 values of x between 0 and 10. Use a 2- point-wide solid blue line for this function.
The step value for x is (10-0)/100=0.1.
Plot the function y(x)=e–0.5x cos(2x) on the same axes. Use a 3-point-wide dashed red line for this function.
The step value for x is the same as the previous function.
