The function f(x) = 10(5)x represents the growth of a lizard population every year in a remote desert. Crista wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates every half-year, not every year. Which function is correct for Crista's purposes? (1 point)


f(x) = 10(52) the x over 2 power

f(x) = ten halves (5)x

f(x) = 10(5)x

f(x) = 10( 5 to the one half power )2x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]f(x)=10(5^{2})^{\frac{x}{2}}[/tex]  (first option)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]f(x)=10(5)^{x}[/tex]

where

x ----> is the time in years

we know that

Crista wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates every half-year

The exponent will be

x/2 -----> the time every half year

To find an equivalent form

[tex]f(x)=10(5^{a})^{\frac{x}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]10(5)^{x}=10(5^{a})^{\frac{x}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]10(5)^{x}=10(5)^{a\frac{x}{2}}[/tex]

so

[tex]x={a\frac{x}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]a=2[/tex]

The equivalent form is

[tex]f(x)=10(5^{2})^{\frac{x}{2}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

C. After gaining independence, territory in both former colonies was divided due to religious conflicts

Step-by-step explanation:

The British had India as their colony, and Palestine as their mandate. Once the World War II ended though, the British saw that they are not in a financial position to be able to keep their colonies and mandates, so they decided to grant them independence. The independence didn't went as desired by the locals though, as both India and Palestine got partitioned because of religious reasons. India was partitioned into Hindu and Muslim part, while Palestine and Muslim and Jewish part. The situation in the Indian subcontinent quickly escalated, as well as in Palestine where the Arabs saw the formation of Israel as stealing of their land.

Answer:  C. After gaining independence, territory in both former colonies was  divided due to religious conflicts.

In the election for class president, there were two candidates, Joel and Sean. Joel got 60% of the votes, which was 38 votes more than Sean. Find the total number of votes cast.

Answers

Answer:

190

Step-by-step explanation:

40/100 x 198= 76

40/100 x 198= 114

114-76= 38

Answer:

190.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total number of votes.

We have been given that Joel got 60% of the votes, which was 38 votes more than Sean.

60% of total votes: [tex]\frac{60}{100}x=0.60x[/tex]  

Since Joel got 60% of total votes, so Sean got 40% of total votes that is [tex]\frac{40}{100}x=0.40x[/tex]  

Since Joel got 38 votes more than Sean, so we can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]0.60x=0.40x+38[/tex]

[tex]0.60x-0.40x=0.40x-0.40x+38[/tex]

[tex]0.20x=38[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.20x}{.20}=\frac{38}{.20}[/tex]

[tex]x=190[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of votes cast is 190.

Last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the fist one

x+1<-1 and x+1<1

Subtract one on both sides for both inequalities:

  x<-2 and x<0

Graph it!  

*********************************o                       x<0

 *************o                                                 x<-2

________(-2)_________(0)____________

So the inequalities do have some common sets of numbers shared so there is a solution and it is any number less than -2.

Let's look at the second one

x+1<=1  and x+1>=1

Subtract one on both sides for both inequalities:

x<=0    and  x>=0

Graph it!

                           @*****************  x>=0

*********************@                         x<=0

-----------------------(0)-------------------

The only number included by both graphs is 0 so it still has a solution. The solution is 0.

Let's look at the third one:

x+1<1   and   x+1>1

Subtract one on both sides for both inequalities:

 x<0    and     x>0

Graph it!

************************O                                   x<0

                               O************************* x>0

---------------------------(0)------------------------------

These inequalities have no overlap.  They don't even both include zero because of the open circle (the lack of equal sign).  This is the compound inequality that has no solution.

Over the last 3  evenings, Keisha received a total of 81  phone calls at the call center. The first evening, she received 6  fewer calls than the second evening. The third evening, she received 3  times as many calls as the first evening. How many phone calls did she receive each evening

Answers

Answer:

First: 15

Second: 21

Third: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create the equation we need to represent the evenings with an alebraic term, in thsi case we are going to represent the second evening with an X

Second evening:x

The first night she got 6 fewer calls than the second: Second-6=x-6

The third night she received 3 times the first: 3(first night)=3(x-6)

The equation is First Night plus second night plus third night equals 81.

[tex]First+second+third=81\\x+(x-7)+3(x-6)=81\\x+x-7+3x-18=81\\5x=81+21+6\\5x=105\\x=\frac{105}{5} \\x=21[/tex]

So the first evening he received 15 calls, the second he received 21 and the third one he received 45.

a. Arithmetic

b. [tex]a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 15[/tex]

c. [tex]a_{n} = 15n + 125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is arithmetic when the difference between one term and the next is a constant. On the other hand, a sequence is geometric when the next term is found by multiplying the previous by a constant.

In this case, the next term of the sequence can be found by adding $15. Therefore, the sequence is ARITHMETIC ✔️

The recursive formula will be the following: [tex]a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 15[/tex]

The explicit formula is the following: [tex]a_{n} = 15n + 125[/tex]

Given the equation 3x + 1 = 16, solve for x

Answers

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 1 = 16

Subtracting 1 on both sides of the equation,

3x + 1 – 1 = 16 – 1

Summing algebraically (in this case subtracting by having different signs) on both sides,

3x = 15

Isolating x by dividing both sides by 3

3x / 3 = 15 / 3

Dividing,

x = 5

Answer:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

[tex]3x+1=16[/tex]

and we need to solve for [tex]x[/tex], so the first thing we have to do (in order to leave the x alone on one side of the equation) is move the +1 to the left sife with the opposite sign (-1):

[tex]3x=16-1\\3x=15[/tex]

now we divide each side by 3, and we get:

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3} \\x=5[/tex]

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. -9 - 4 + 1 + 6 + ... + 66

Answers

Summation notation is:

[tex]\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9][/tex]

If you prefer it a little more simplified:

[tex]\sum_{n=1}^{16}(5x-14)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First my favorite part, finding a pattern between the consecutive terms.

This is an arithmetic series because the terms are going up by 5 each time.

So arithmetic sequence, think linear equations:

x     |      y

1            -9

2           -4

3             1

4             6

..................

n             66

We are going to have to find that n but will will eventually...

The equation for a line in point slope form is [tex]y-y_1=m(x_x_1)[/tex] where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point on the line and m is the slope.

We are already have the slope is 5 (the slope is the common difference in arithmetic sequence).

I'm going to use the first point (1,-9).

So the equation in point slope form is [tex]y-(-9)=5(x-1)[/tex]

Subtract 9 on both sides:

[tex]y=5(x-1)-9[/tex]

Now we need to know how many terms we are adding so what is x if y=66.

[tex]66=5(x-1)-9[/tex]

Add 9 on both sides:

[tex]75=5(x-1)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5:

[tex]15=x-1[/tex]

Add 1 on both sides:

[tex]16=x[/tex]

We have 16 terms in this sequence where the 16th term is 66.

Summation notation is:

[tex]\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9][/tex]

You could simplify the 5(x-1)-9.

Answers

56+265= 321
321-243= 78
78/3= 26
Each backpack cost $26

Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with $56.

Add $265, obtaining a + balance of $321.

Let x represent the unit price of the backpacks.  Then:

$321 - 3x = $243.

Combining like terms:

3x = $78

Then x, the price of the individual backpack, was $78/3, or $26.

The domain of a continuous parabola is always all real numbers or −∞ ≤ x ≤ ∞ because the ends of the parabola continue forever and when you graph this equation, you see that the ends of the parabola never stops, it continues on and on and on.

Box A contained 1.67 kg of flour. Box B contained 8600 g of flour. After same amount of
flour was added to each box, Box B contained 4 times as much flour as Box A. How
much flour was added to each box? Give your answer in kg.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of flour added to each box was 0.64 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of flour added to each box in kg

Remember that

1 kg=1,000 g

8,600 g=8,600/1,000=8.6 kg

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

(8.6+x)=4(1.67+x)

Solve for x

8.6+x=6.68+4x

4x-x=8.6-6.68

3x=1.92

x=0.64 kg

To solve this problem, we'll use algebra. Let's denote the initial amount of flour in Box A as A and in Box B as B. Also, let the amount of flour added to each box be x (in kilograms).
Given:
A = 1.67 kg
B = 8600 g, which we need to convert to kilograms. Since 1 kilogram is 1000 grams, we get:
B = 8600 / 1000 kg
B = 8.6 kg
After adding x kg of flour to each box, Box B contains 4 times as much flour as Box A. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
B + x = 4(A + x)
Now, we plug in the values for A and B:
8.6 + x = 4(1.67 + x)
Distribute the 4 on the right side of the equation:
8.6 + x = 6.68 + 4x
Now we'll consolidate like terms:
8.6 - 6.68 = 4x - x
1.92 = 3x
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 3:
x = 1.92 / 3
x = 0.64 kg
So 0.64 kg of flour was added to each box.
