The equation for exponential decay is y=a*b^x, where <em>a</em> is the initial amount, <em>b</em> = 1 + <em>r</em> (the growth rate as a decimal number) and <em>x</em> is the number of time periods (in this case, minutes).  Substituting the information we have:
y=430(1+-0.274)^1^9&#10;\\=430(1-0.274)^1^9&#10;\\=430(0.726)^1^9=0.98.  To the nearest tenth of a gram, this would be 1.0 grams.

Find the sum (3.2+4x)+(18.25+6x)=
tatiyna

Answer:    -2.145

Step-by-step explanation:

(3.2+4x)+(18.25+6x)=

Simplifying

(3.2 + 4x) + (18.25 + 6x) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (3.2 + 4x)

3.2 + 4x + (18.25 + 6x) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (18.25 + 6x)

3.2 + 4x + 18.25 + 6x = 0

Reorder the terms:

3.2 + 18.25 + 4x + 6x = 0

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 18.25 = 21.45

21.45 + 4x + 6x = 0

Combine like terms: 4x + 6x = 10x

21.45 + 10x = 0

Solving

21.45 + 10x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-21.45' to each side of the equation.

21.45 + -21.45 + 10x = 0 + -21.45

Combine like terms: 21.45 + -21.45 = 0

0 + 10x = 0 + -21.45

10x = 0 + -21.45

Combine like terms: 0 + -21.45 = -21.45

10x = -21.45

Divide each side by '10'.

x = -2.145

Simplifying

x = -2.145

Define a function f on a set of real numbers as follows: f(x) = 3x − 1 x , for each real number x ≠ 0 Prove that f is one-to-one
dalvyx [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x}

For each real number x\neq 0

To prove that f is one -to-one.

Proof:Let x_1 and x_2 be any nonzero real numbers such that

f(x_1)=f(x_2)

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

f(x_1)=\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation  of f(x_1)=f(x_2)

f(x_2)=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}

Equating the expression then we get

\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}

3x_1x_2-x_2=3x_2x_1-x_1

3x_1x_2-3x_1x_2+x_1=x_2

x_1=x_2

Therefore, f is one-to-one.

AT&amp;T has a family plan of four lines for $125 and additional lines are $15 each per month. If Jason wants to spend at most $
denis-greek [22]

Given:

Cost of four lines = $125

Cost of each additional line = $15

Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses.

To find:

The inequality for the given situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of additional line.

Cost of one additional line = $15

Cost of x additional line = \$15x

Total cost = Fixed cost + Addition cost

                = 125+15x

It is given that Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses. It means the total cost must be less than or equal to 200.

125+15x\leq 200

Therefore, the correct option is C.

The grades on a history midterm at Gardner Bullis are roughly symmetric with μ = 69 μ=69mu, equals, 69 and σ = 3.5 σ=3.5sigma, e
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

-1.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information in statement is

mean=μ=69

standard deviation=σ=3.5

Let X be the Ishaan's exam score

X=65

The Z score can be computed as

z=\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

z=\frac{65-69}{3.5}

z=-1.1429

z=-1.14 (rounded to two decimal places).

Thus, the computed z-score for Ishaan's exam grade is -1.14.
