please help very urgent!!
how do you find the growth rate (like the percentage of growth each week) for an exponential function when you only have the starting value, the amount of weeks and the ending value???? (for example, a plant starts at (0,2) when it is planted, after 18 weeks it is 20 inches) how do you find out the percent of growth each week to plug it into an equation???

Answer:

  the n-th root of the ratio of ending to starting values, less 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When I have starting and ending values over a time period, I usually use those directly in the exponential equation. If you're asked for a percentage growth rate, then you have to convert the growth factor to a growth rate.

__

The exponential equation can be written ...

  f(t) = (initial value) × ((final value)/(initial value))^(t/(time period))

In your example case, this would be ...

  f(t) = 2 × (20/2)^(t/18)

  f(t) = 2(10^(t/18)) . . . . . . simplified

__

To convert this to the form ...

  f(t) = 2(1 +(growth rate))^t

recognize that ...

  (1 +(growth rate)^t = (10^(1/18))^t

So, you need to find the value of ...

  10^(1/18) = 10^(1/18) ≈ 1.13646 = 1 + 13.646%

Then the growth rate is about 13.6% each week.

__

Sometimes, you want to use this in the form ...

  f(t) = (initial value)×(1 + (growth rate))^t

and sometimes you want the form ...

  f(t) = (initial value)×e^(kt)

When you solve for k, you find it is ...

  k = ln(1 + (growth rate)) . . . . . . . . where ln(x) is the natural logarithm of x

Here, that is ...

  k = ln(10^(1/18)) = ln(10)/18 ≈ 0.12792

__

Your final growth equation could be any of ...

  f(t) = 2(10^(t/18)) . . . . . . . my personal favorite, as no rounding is involved

  f(t) = 2(1.13646^t)

  f(t) = 2e^(0.12792t)

Answers

Answer:

The elevation closest to the sea level is –42ft and the elevation farthest from the sea level is –8ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the elevation above the sea level is on a number line, then we have to arrange the given number from lowest to highest. These are the numbers in ascending order.

–42ft, –20ft, –18ft, –8ft.

From here we see that, the elevation closest to the sea level is –42ft and the elevation farthest from the sea level is –8ft.

Given f(x) = 3/2x - 8, solve for x when f(x)= 7

Answers

Answer:

x is 10 when f(x) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is another way of saying y=. The question is basically asking, what is the value of x when the 3/2x - 8 = 7

So, to do this, you are going replace y with it's numerical value. The numerical value given to you is 7. Now, you are going to solve for x (by isolating x).

[tex]7= \frac{3}{2} x-8\\7+8= \frac{3}{2} x-8+8\\15 = \frac{3}{2} x\\15 / \frac{3}{2} = (\frac{3}{2}x) / 3/2\\10=x[/tex]

f(10) = 7

Check your work?

Plug in 10 where you see x.

y = 3/2x - 8

y = (3/2)(10)-8

y = 7 ✅

Answers

Answer:

1200 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Scale used by Anna in her drawings = 1 : 600

Length of drawing made by Anna of a building = 6 inches

Scale used by Greg in the drawing = 1 : 300

To find:

The length of scale drawing made by Greg.

Solution:

Here, we first need to find the original length of the building so that we can find the length of scale drawing made by Greg.

Ratio 1 : 600 means 600 is the actual length of building, if the length of scale drawing is 1.

Here, we are given length of scale drawing as 6 inches, therefore the actual length of building = 6 [tex]\times[/tex] 600 = 3600 inches

Now, applying the ratio 1 : 300, we get the length of scale drawing by Greg as [tex]\frac{3600}{3}[/tex] = 1200 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the instruction plz help asap
Part 1
You will need to measure five different people. Record your measurements on a piece of paper. Using a tape measure or ruler, measure the length (in inches) of a person’s left foot and then measure the length (in inches) of that same person’s forearm (between their wrist and elbow). Refer to the diagrams below. You will have two measurements for each person.

(An easy way to measure the length of a foot is to have your subject stand on a piece of paper. Then, trace their foot and measure the outline once they move off the paper.)

To measure the forearm, measure inside the arm, between the wrist and the elbow.




Part 2
Organize your data and find the rate of change.

Create a table of the measurements for your data. Label the forearm measurements as your input and the foot measurements as your output.

Select two sets of points and find the rate of change for your data.

Describe your results. If you had to express this relation as a verbal statement, how would you describe it?
Part 3
Compare rates of change.

The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other.

(length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302

If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to
y = 0.860x + 3.302.

Using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long?

What is the rate of change of the equation from Part A?

Compare the equation from Part A to your data. Are they the same? Which has a greater rate of change? Why do you think the values are different?

Is the relation in your data a function? Why or why not? Could the equation in Part A represent a function? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
For this option you will submit the details from all three parts. Submit your measurements, the table, and description that you created in Parts 1 and 2. Submit your answers to the questions from Part 3.

Answer:

again please don't just straight up copy it just use it as a base please also i tried my best and don't know if i got it right

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 2

Organize your data and find the rate of change.

I’m sorry i didn’t know how to make a table so i just did this  

Person number 1- Left foot is 9 inches Forearm is 8.5 inches

Person number 2- Left foot is 7.5 inches Forearm is 7 inches

Person number 3- Left foot  is 11 inches Forearm is 10.5 inches

Person number 4- Left foot: is 10 inches Forearm is 9.5 inches

Person number 5- Left foot  is 6 inches Forearm is 5.5 inches

The rate of change equals y=x-0.5

I believe that it's a function because there is a relationship between 2 variables.

Part 3

Compare rates of change.

The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other.  

(length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302

If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to

y = 0.860x + 3.302.  

Using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long?

i don’t know how to type all my formulas and work so i'm just going to say the answer i got the rate of change = 0.86x or y=0.86x+3.302  

What is the rate of change of the equation from Part A?

For Part A i got y=x-0.5 and that part A has the greater rate of change.

 

Compare the equation from Part A to your data. Are they the same? Which has a greater rate of change? Why do you think the values are different?

Well, the values have to be different because there are different rates of change and different linear coefficients; and also each input value will result in a different output value because they all have different parameters as well.  

Is the relation in your data a function? Why or why not? Could the equation in Part A represent a function? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Yes, it is a function because each input from part A fits well together with the output on the other set, which matches the definition of a function.

The probability  that Amy will reach in the jewelry box  and pull out a necklace that is not silver is 3/20 and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

Amy has 20 necklaces in a jewelry  box. The probability of reaching into the  jewelry box and pulling out a silver  necklace is 0.85.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the probability  that Amy will reach in the jewelry box  and pull out a necklace that is not silver:

Step 1 - According to the given data, the probability of reaching into the  jewelry box and pulling out a silver  necklace is 0.85.

Step 2 - The overall probability is 1.

Step 3 - So, the probability  that Amy will reach in the jewelry box  and pull out a necklace that is not silver is calculated as:

P = 1 - 0.85

P = 0.15

P = 3/20
