Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation: 24 - 12 times 1
A) the middle of the range is 39.5%
b) the difference between the middle and the ends of the range is ±1.5%
c) less than a majority favor change. Change seems unlikely.
Answer:
A: Algebraic Function
Step-by-step explanation:
Algebraic function is given as;
5x – 2y = 15
Since we are dealing with rate of change, let's make y the subject first and find dy/dx.
Thus;
2y = 5x - 15
y = (5x/2) - 15/2
dy/dx = 5/2
dy/dx = 2.5
The verbal function is given as;
Cost of 5 pencils is 15 dollars
Thus, rate of 1 pencil = 15/5 = 3 pencils per dollar
We can see that the lowest rate of change is 2.5 and it is the algebraic function.
The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.
