Answer:

976 -522 more than 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Is 976 -522 more or less than 400? Explain how you can tell without actually subtracting.

Solution :

Without actual subtracting we apply estimation method.

Estimation is approximate the number to the nearest place value.

Estimating 976 = 1000

Estimating 522 = 500

If we subtract 1000-500=500

Which is more than 400.

i.e. If we subtract 976-522 the result is more than 400.

Therefore, 976 -522 more than 400.

You can round 976 to 1000 and 522 to 500. So it would be
1000 - 500 = 500. The answer you would get after subtracting 976-522 would be more than 400 if you round it.

Which is a stretch of an exponential growth function? f(x) = Two-thirds (two-thirds) Superscript x f(x) = Three-halves (two-thir

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

f(x) = Three-halves (three-halves) Superscript x

f(x) = Two-thirds (three-halves) Superscript x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, a function in the form of $f(x) = ab^x$

Where, a and b are any constant,

is called exponential function,

There are two types of exponential function,

Growth function : If b > 1,

Decay function : if 0 < b < 1,

Since, In

$f(x) =\frac{2}{3}(\frac{2}{3})^x$

$\frac{2}{3} < 1$

Thus, it is a decay function.

in $f(x) =\frac{3}{2}(\frac{2}{3})^x$

$\frac{2}{3} < 1$

Thus, it is a decay function.

in $f(x) =\frac{3}{2}(\frac{3}{2})^x$

$\frac{3}{2} > 1$

Thus, it is a growth function.

in $f(x) =\frac{2}{3}(\frac{3}{2})^x$

$\frac{3}{2} > 1$

Thus, it is a growth function.

Dafna1 [17]

There are a total of 297 students in the 7th grade. Rough estimates would say that about half of that number are boys and half are girls. Asking only 50 random girls would be biased because not only would it not be all of the girls (the number of girls would be around 148 or 149) but it would also be ignoring the roughly 148 to 149 boys there are on estimate. The sample would be biased because it would be ignoring the opinions of more than half the seventh grade.
