8,516.90 has the greater value.
Answer:
4x+7 = 5x-20
(reason: vertical angles are congruent; property used: distributive)
7 = 1x-20
1x = 7+20
1x = 27
x = 27
Answer:
Tyler is correct. The temperature dropped at a rate of about 4° per hour between 4 and 6, while the temperature dropped at about 2.25° per hour between 6 and 10.
Edit: Explanation
The question is asking about which window of time had a <em>faster</em> decline in temperature, not a larger total change in temperature.
In a 2 hour timeframe, the temperature dropped 8°. (4-6 PM)
In a separate 4 hour timeframe, the temperature dropped 9°. (6-10 PM)
To find which window had a faster change in temp, I took the total temperature drop for each timeframe, then divided it by the number of hours each drop took.
8° / 2 = 4° per hour for 4-6 PM
9° / 4 = 2.25° per hour from 6-10 PM
Since the speed at which the temperature dropped per hour was greater from 4-6 PM than 6-10 PM, Tyler was correct.
Answer:
The term exponential is often used.
Step-by-step explanation:
The term exponential is used to represent changes in population over time. The idea of (positive) exponential is that the higher the number, the higher the growth. You can relate this with a population, because the higher the population, the more opportunities for it to multiply, thus, the higher it grows.
Usually the way to meassure the population of an species after certain number of years x, you use an exponential function of the form
For certain constants K₀ and a. K₀ is the initial population at the start of the experiment and <em>a </em>number of exponential growth. Essentially, the population of the species is multiplied by a during each year.
For example, if K₀ = 1000 and a = 2, then the population at the start of the experiment is 1000. After the first year is 1000*2 = 2000 and after the second year it is 2000*2 = 4000. Note that, not only the population grow during the years, but also the amount that the population increases also grow: in the first year it grows 1000, and between the first and second year it grows 2000.
