Step-by-step answer:
The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in
f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x
The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely
f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)
Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x
we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get
f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x
f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037
Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function
f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)
1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.
Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
Infiniti sells 8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices.
Now, 8 different models of cars with 5 different trim levels have (8 × 5) = 40 choices.
Similarly, with 8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices, there will be total (40 × 5) = 200 options one could choose. ( Answer )
-6x^2+4x
my reasoning:
eliminate the opposites (5 & -5)
collect the like terms (-8x^2 & + 2x^2)
collect the like terms again (-3x &+7x)
