Answer:
44 seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ends of 5 tables are placed together. When this is done, there are only 2 ends, one on each side of the 5 tables as shown in the image below. All the other ends are blocked when tables are joined together.
Since, 2 people can sit on each end, 4 people can sit on two ends of the tables.
For one table there are 2 sides and on each side 4 people can be seated. No sides are blocked, so all the sides of 5 tables are open.
Total number of sides of 5 tables = 10
Number of people on each side = 4
So, total number of people on 10 sides would be = 40
Hence, total seats that would be available = Seats on ends + Seats on sides = 4 +40 = 44
44 seats are available if the end of 5 tables are placed together.
Hello!
The graph, (2/5)^x is an exponential function.
Since there is not a negative symbol in the front of the function, options A and B are incorrect.
For option 3 to be correct, there would need to be a negative symbol in front of the exponent, x.
So therefore, the answer option 4. (Also, I'll post a graph. :))
