Answer: The function that modes this situation would be: y = 475(1 + .0125)^x.

This is an example of an exponential equation. These equations are always in the form y = ab^x.

The a value is the starting value. The b value is the interest rate. The x value is the number of years.

The only thing to be careful about is the rate. We are adding 1.25% or 0.125. Make sure that you are adding 1 whole to the 1.25% and don't just use 0.125.

Answer:

40 * x - 600 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to identify the variable (x) of the equation and they will be the number of days that Leilah will take to read her flashcards. Now if you need to study 600 out of 2400, it is because you have read 1800. Therefore we have to:

2400 - 1800 = 40 * x

rearranging

40 * x - 600 = 0

The above would be the equation of the situation

A candy manufacturer makes two types of special candy, say A and B. Candy A consists of equal parts of dark chocolate and carame
Sphinxa [80]
If we let x as candy A
y as candy B
a as dark chocolate in candy a
b as dark chocolate in candy b
c as caramel
d as walnut
P as profit
we have the equations:
a + c = x
2b + d = y
a + 2b ≤ 360
c ≤ 430
d ≤ 210
P = 285x + 260y

This is an optimization problem which involves linear programming. It can be solved by graphical method or by algebraic solution.
P = 285(a + c) + 260(2b +d)
If we assume a = b
Then a = 120, 2b = 240
P = 285(120 + 120) + 260(240 + 120)
P = 162000
candy A should be = 240
candy B should be = 360

In science, rate is a<span> quantity measured with respect to another measured quantity. For the data given, we get the rate of each by calculating the slope. We do as follows:

Megan's rate = 12 - 4.5 / 4 -1 = 2.5 inches per week
Suzanne's rate = 11 - 5 / 4-1 = 0.5 inches per week

Therefore, the plant that grew at a faster rate would be </span><span>Megan’s at 2.5 inches per week.</span>

An insurance company collected data from a class of high school sophomores on whether or not they have a cell phone and whether
NeX [460]

Answer:

C. Those who have a car tend to have a cell phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative frequency for a data set n is calculated by dividing each frequency x_i by n.

We have a table that relates the use of cars and cell phones.

First, we take from the table the population that has a car.

n = 18

Then, of the students who have a car, 12 have a cell phone and 6 do not have a cell phone.

Then we calculate the relative frequencies f_{x_i} for those who have a cell phone and those who do not.

______________________________________________

Relative frequency   Students with car  n = 18.

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

C<em>ell phone     No cell phone      Total n</em>

 12/18                    6/18                     18

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

Relative frequency   Students with car  n = 18.

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

C<em>ell phone     No cell phone      Total n</em>

  0.666              0.333                   18

________________________________________________

Most students who have a car also have a cell phone.

Now we calculate the relative frequency for students who do not have a car.

_______________________________________________

Relative frequency  Students without a car  n = 7

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

<em>Cell phone       No cell phone             Total  n</em>

 2/7                     5/7                          7

_______________________________________________  

_______________________________________________

Relative frequency  Students without a car  n = 7

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

<em>Cell phone</em>      <em>  No</em> <em>cell phone           Total  n</em>

 0.286                 0.714                              7

_______________________________________________

Most students who do not have a car do not have a cell phone either.

<em>Then these data suggest that. Those who have a car tend to have a cell phone.</em>
