Answer:
The given equation is:
f(m) = 3(1.09)^m
where 'f(m)' represents the length of the fish after 'm' months.
Domain is considered as a set of all values of input. In this question, the input is number of months. The input should starts at 0 which will show the initial height and then as the number 'm' increases, the value of f(m) also increases.
Thus, the domain can be defined as m ≥ 0
y-intercept occurs at m=0. It means the height of the fish after 0 months, which can also be considered as initial height.
Calculate the value of function for m=2 and m=8
For m=2, f(2) = 3.564
For m=8, f(8) = 5.978
Average rate of change = (5.978-3.564) / (8-2)
Average rate of change = 0.402
It means the fish grows about 0.402cm each month in between 2 to 8 months
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.
Since a total of 47 hats where purchased, hence:
x + y + z = 47 (1)
Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:
5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302 (2)
He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:
y = 3x
-x + 3y = 0 (3)
Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%5C%5C5.5%266%267%5C%5C-3%261%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D47%5C%5C302%5C%5C0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%261%5C%5C5.5%266%267%5C%5C-3%261%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5E%7B-1%7D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D47%5C%5C302%5C%5C0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D6%5C%5C18%5C%5C23%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats
