The values of P and a that will make f(x)=Pa^x to be an exponential growth function is; A P = 1²; a = 2

The general formula for exponential growth function is;

y = a(b)ˣ

When a is a positive value and 'b' is the base greater than 1,

In order to represent exponential growth, a must be a positive number larger than 1.  If a is a fraction less than 1, we are basically taking a percent (less than 100) of the number and this will make it smaller, which would the become a decay function.  If a is a negative, the values would alternate between positive and negative.

The only option where a is a positive number larger than 1 is P = 1²; a = 2

Answer:

C. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the distributive property. Multiply 4x and 1 each by 2.

This gives us the equation 50 + 8x - 2 = 72.

Next, subtract 2 from 50 to get 48. Subtract 2 from 2 to cancel it out.

Then, we have 48 + 8x = 72.

Subtract 48 from both sides. This leaves 8x = 24.

Divide both sides by 8 to get x = 3.

The expression for the sum is 2n + 1 and the sum must be an odd number because it will leave 1 as remainder when divided by 2.

The Euclid division lemma states that when two positive integers a and b are divided then their are other two integers q and r that represent quotient and remainder. The equation for the lemma can be written as a = bq + r where r < b.

(a) The given consecutive integers are n and n + 1 respectively.

The expression for their sum can be written as,

n + n + 1

⇒ 2n + 1

(b) The general expression for the sum is 2n + 1.

Now, as per the Euclid's division lemma, the number when divide by 2 will leave remainder as 1.

Which implies the number will be an odd number.

Hence, the expression for the sum is 2n + 1 and it will be an odd number.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=32x+14

I got this equation because the initial height is the starting so that would be the y-int which comes after the slope, the slope is 32 because it says that the plant has grown that amount of centimeters each day, and each day should refer to the rate meaning slope. That would be the equation that you would use to find the plant's height after a given number of days,

For example..

y=32(5) + 14

I plugged in a 5 for x meaning 5 days. so you'd multiply 32 by 5 which is 160 and then you'd add 14 and you'd get 174. Meaning that after 5 days the plant has grown 174 cm...

A & D are complex conjugates because the sum of A and D is a real number. Also, A & D are complex conjugate because the product of A and D is a real number.

Options A and D are the correct answer

The complex conjugate of a complex number is the number obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part. The complex conjugate is written with a bar over the complex number, like this:

z = a + bi

z* = a - bi

where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit, which is defined as the square root of -1

For example, the complex conjugate of the complex number 3 + 4i is 3 - 4i.

The complex conjugate has several important properties. For example, the product of a complex number and its complex conjugate is always a real number:

(a + bi)(a - bi) = a²+ b²

Also, the sum of a complex number and its complex conjugate is always a real number:

(a + bi) + (a - bi) = 2a

These properties are useful for simplifying expressions involving complex numbers.

Let's examine the points on the graph:

A = -2 + 3i

B = 2 + 3i

C = 3 + 2i

D =  -2 - 3i

A x D = ( -2 + 3i) x (-2 - 3i) = (-2)²- (3i)² = 4- (-9) = 13

A + D = ( -2 + 3i) +  (-2 - 3i) = -2-2 + 3i-3i = -4

Thus, points A and D are complex conjugates because the sum and product of A and D are real numbers

The numbers x and y values are the integer x = 29,288 and y = 713.

What is a linear equation?

Ax+By=C represents a two-variable linear equation in its standard form.

A linear equation with one variable has the conventional form Ax + B = 0. x is a variable, A is a coefficient, and B is constant in this situation.

An equation is used to show the relationship between variables, and numbers.

Let's call the two numbers x and y, where x is the first number and y is the second number. We are given that x + y = 30,000 and that 0.07x + 0.1y = 2,400.

Using substitution, we can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute this expression into the other equation.
From the first equation, we can solve for y: y = 30,000 - x
Substituting this expression into the second equation, we get:
0.07x + 0.1(30,000 - x) = 2,400
0.07x + 3,000 - 0.1x = 2,400
Combining like terms, we get:
-0.03x = -600
Dividing both sides by -0.03, we get:
x = 20,000
Substituting this value back into the first equation, we can solve for y:
y = 30,000 - x
y = 30,000 - 20,000
y = 10,000
Therefore, the two numbers are x = 20,000 and y = 10,000.
Alternatively, we could have used elimination to solve the system. We can do this by adding the two equations together:
x + y = 30,000
0.07x + 0.1y = 2,400
0.07x + 0.1y + x + y = 30,000 + 2,400
0.17x + 1.1y = 32,400
Dividing both sides by 0.17, we get:
x + 6.47y = 190,588
Multiplying both sides of the first equation by 6.47, we get:
6.47x + 6.47y = 194,490
Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get:
5.47y = 3,902
Dividing both sides by 5.47, we get:
y = 712.5
Substituting this value back into the first equation, we can solve for x:
x = 30,000 - y
x = 30,000 - 712.5
x = 29,287.5

Since x and y must be positive integers, we can round these values to the nearest integer to get x = 29,288 and y = 713. These values are very close to the actual solution, which is x = 20,000 and y = 10,000. This is because we introduced some error when we divided both sides of the equation 0.17x + 1.1y = 32,400 by 0.17.
Hence, the numbers x and y values are the integer x = 29,288 and y = 713.

Answer:

u=14, v=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's my attempt:

Proving triangle congruency:

We need to prove that the two triangles are congruent.

First, we need to see which sides/angles correspond (basically how the two triangles overlap each other).

Well, we can see that m∠F = 90° and that m∠D = 90°, so we know that ∠F and ∠D are congruent, and so they correspond.

So, if you drag ΔHFG over to ΔCDE, then sides DC and FH would be right on top of each other. (try drawing this to make it clearer)

Solving for v:

So if sides DC and FH are congruent, then their values are also equal.

DC = 17v and FH = v+32

So if DC=FH, then 17v=v+32

Then, we simplify this:

17v=v+32     [original equation]

16v=32     [subtract v from both sides]

v=2     [divide both sides by 16 to isolate v]

So, we have our value for v: v=2

Solving for u:

Now, it's time to find u:  (also, it doesn't matter if you found v first or u first in this problem)

When we overlapped ΔHFG and ΔCDE, we saw that EC = GH

So, using the same method as we used to find v, we can say that

EC=7u and GH = 10u-42

If EC=GH, then 7u=10u-42

Then, we simplify:

7u=10u-42     [original equation]
-3u=-42     [subtract 10u from both sides to get u on just one side]
u=14     [subtract both sides by -3 to isolate u]

Finally, we have our value for u: u=14

But we're not done yet: let's check our work:

Firstly, let's plug our answer for v into our equation for v:

17v=v+32
17(2)=(2)+32
34=34     It works!

Next, we'll plug in our answer for u into our equation for u:

7u=10u-42

7(14)=10(14)-42

98=140-42

98=98     It works!

Total bill that should be paid by Olive is $46.61. Olive's calculation is incorrect because she is applying the discount and tax to the original price of the clothes rather than to the discounted price.

A total bill is the final amount of money that is due for payment, usually for goods or services that have been provided. It is the sum of all charges, fees, taxes, and other expenses that have been incurred. The total bill may be presented as a single amount or as a breakdown of the various charges that make up the total.

The correct expression to calculate the total cost of the clothes would be:

Total cost = (Original price * (1 - Discount rate)) * (1 + Tax rate)

In this case, the original price is $54.50, the discount rate is 20%, and the tax rate is 7.5%. Plugging these values into the above expression gives us:

Total cost = (54.50 * (1 - 0.20)) * (1 + 0.075)

Total cost = (54.50 * 0.80) * 1.075

The description of the cosine function is [tex]\mathrm{f(x) = -10 \cos( \frac{2\pi}{3}) x + 10}[/tex].

A cosine function's general form is given by:

[tex]\mathrm{f(x) = A \times cos(Bx + C)) + D}[/tex]

where:

A stand for amplitude, or the ratio of the maximum to the minimum value.

B = 2π / period

C stands for horizontal phase shift.

(Midpoint between the Maximum and Minimum Values) D = Vertical Shift

We can determine the parameters for the specified function given the information given:

Period = 3 (This means B = 2π / 3)

Maximum value = 20

This means the amplitude A is half of this, so A = 20 / 2 = 10

Minimum value = 0

This means the vertical shift D is half of the difference between the maximum and minimum.

So, D = (20 - 0) / 2

= 10

The amplitude is negative because the function is a mirror of its parent function over the x-axis, hence A = -10.

Putting it all together, the function is:

[tex]\mathrm{f(x) = -10 \cos( \frac{2\pi}{3}) x + 10}[/tex]
