ion per day

Answer:
1.629 billion gallons of water a day are used for Irrigation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.
According to my research which can also be found on the USDA ERS website. The Domestic Use (indoor) amount of water accounts for 70% of the total water used per day. While the Irrigation Water (outdoor) used per day accounts for 30%.
This being the case We can use the Rule of Three technique to solve for the amount of irrigation water used per day. This rule is attached in the picture below.
3.8 billion ⇒ 0.70
x billion ⇒ 0.30
... rounded to the nearest thousandth
We can see from the calculation above that approximately 1.629 billion gallons of water a day are used for Irrigation.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:
We simplify the parenthesis to get:
Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is
The second choice is correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's answer these questions in an all-encompassing kind of explanation. If you plot the vertex and the directrix, you see that the vertex is below the directrix. Because of the fact that a parabola opens AWAY from the directrix, and wraps itself around the focus, we know it's an upside down parabola of the form
The p value from the equation is a distance, specifically the distance between either the vertex and the directrix, or the vertex and the focus. The vertex is exactly in the middle of the directrix and the focus. So that tells us that the focus is 3 units below the vertex (because the directrix is 3 units above the vertex). We also know from this that p = 3.
Filling in the equation with a vertex of (0, 0) which is our h and k respectively:
which simplifies to
and multiplying both sides by -1:
. This is not standard form, but it matches what your equation is in the choices. So to sum up:
The focus is located at (0, -3) and the first choice is true.
The parabola opens upside down and the second choice is not true.
The p value is found by counting the units between the vertex and the directrix, so the third choice is not true.
We solved the equation by filling in the values for h, k, and p and got that the equation in the fourth choice is true.
So the fifth choice is not true.
