The value of a in the exponential function is 4/5.
Given the exponential function is f(x)=a(3/2)ˣ.
An function may be a mathematical relation of the subsequent form: f(x)=aˣ. where x may be a variable, and a could be a constant called the exponential of the function.
When multiplying the any function by a constant, we may expand or shrink the function in the y-direction.
y=a(b)ˣ
If a>1 then the function will enlarge.
If a<1 then the function will shrink.
When a=4/5
Then 4/5<1 means the function would shrink.
When a=5/4
Then 5/4>1 means the function would enlarge.
When a=3/2
Then 3/2>1 means the function would enlarge.
When a=7/4
Then 7/4>1 means the function would enlarge.
Hence, the given function f(x)=a(3/2)ˣ would shrink when a=4/5.

How many eight-character passwords can be formed with the 26 letters in the English alphabet, each of which can be in uppercase or lowercase, and the 10 digits
The number of possible passwords is 26^4 * 10^4.
We will make 4 picks from each category (letters and numbers).
We can duplicate them (i.e., pick each character more than once.)
so, for your 4 picks from the letters, you'll have

For each of these, you'll have 4 picks from the digits. Similar reasoning, this works out to

Using the Poisson distribution, it is found that there is a 0.507 = 50.7% probability that the bird feeder will be visited by at most 5 birds in a 45 minute period during daylight hours.
What is the Poisson distribution?In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:

The probability that the bird feeder will be visited by at most 5 birds in a 45 minute period during daylight hours is given by:

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-5.625}(5.625)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.02[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-5.625}(5.625)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.057[/tex]

Complete the paragraph proof:
It is given that ∠TUW ≅ ∠SRW and RS ≅ TU. Because ∠RWS and ∠UWT are vertical angles and vertical angles are congruent, ∠RWS ≅ ∠UWT. Then, by AAS, △TUW ≅ △SRW. Because CPCTC, SW ≅ TW and WU ≅ RW. Because of the definition of congruence, SW = TW and WU = RW. If we add those equations together, SW + WU = TW + RW. Because of segment addition, SW + WU = SU and TW + RW = TR. Then by substitution, SU = TR. If segments are equal, then they are congruent, so SU ≅ TR. Because of

y=1x^(2)+10x+22 line of symmetry
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the below formula to find the line of symmetry.
( x - a )² + b
Here,
line of symmetry = +a
Vertex = +b
And now let us take a look at the given equation.
y = x² + 10x + 22
To find the line of symmetry from the given equation we have to make the given equation as the given formula.
Let us use the completing square method for that.
y = x² + 10x + 22
Put zero instead of y.
x² + 10x + 22 = 0
x² + 10x = -22
x² + 10x + 25 = -22 + 25
( x + 5 )² = 3
( x + 5 )² -3 = 0
Therefore,
line of symmetry of the line is = -5
∴ x = -5

To do this problem, we must divide the amount of cement by the number of feet to see how much cement he used for each foot.
15/50 = 0.3 gallon
Answer:
0.3 gallons per foot
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that he used 15 gallons of cement for 50 feet.

So we have to divide the 15 gallons by the 50 feet.
15 / 50 = 0.3 gallons per foot.
An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula:
a₁ = 5
an = an-1-4
What is the explicit formula for this sequence?
Answer:
[tex]a_n = 5 + (n-1)(-4)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
So the explicit formula is generally defined as [tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)[/tex]. where d is essentially the "slope", basically how much it's changing from term to term. anyways if you look at the recursive formula you'll notice it's taking the previous term and subtracting 4. This is what d is going to be, -4 and since a_1 is given you plug that in as well. This gives you the equation
[tex]a_n = 5 -4(n-1)[/tex] which can also be written as [tex]a_n = 5 + (n-1)(-4)[/tex]

35 divided by 60 is = 0.583333
which is a repeating decimal
Among the options, only a rational number (35/60) is equivalent to a repeating decimal. The correct answer is option (d).
To identify which of the given rational numbers is equivalent to a repeating decimal, we need to check their decimal representations.
a. 24/60 = 2/5 = 0.4 (terminating decimal, not repeating)
b. 30/64 = 15/32 = 0.46875 (terminating decimal, not repeating)
c. 29/50 = 0.58 (terminating decimal, not repeating)
d. 35/60 = 7/12 = 0.583333... (repeating decimal, as 3 repeats infinitely)
Among the options, only option d (35/60) is equivalent to a repeating decimal.
The repeating decimal representation is 0.583333... where the digit 3 repeats indefinitely.
This can be represented as 0.58(3).

Answer:
A. The function is always decreasing
Step-by-step explanation:
we read a graph from left to right, so we can always compare the increase/decrease of a function by seeing how an x value compares with an x value to the left
(I am aware that this paragraph is really confusing)
we can see that as x increases, from -∞ to 0,
y decreases in correspondence
and that as x increases, from 0 to ∞,
y decreases in correspondence also
So, even though the graph doesn't quite look like it, when x < 0; the function decreases, when x > 0; function decreases--so the function is always decreasing

From Area of triangle
A = 1/2*B*H
Substitute the values in it
A = 1/2*a*12
a = 2A / 12 -(1)
Then

b < a+c2A/14 < 2A/12 + 2A/h
Solve it and get
h > -84
c < a+b2A/h < 2A/12 + 2A/14
Solve it and get
h > 6.46
From all the three inequalities we get:
6.46<h<84
So, the longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.

If two-thirds of a number is diminished by 8, the result is 32
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the number A.
We are told that:
(2/3)A - 8 = 32
Multiply both sides by 3 and rearrange:
3*[(2/3)A - 8 = 32]
2A - 24 = 96
2A = 120
A = 60
CHECK:
Does (2/3) of 60 minus 8 equal 32?
(2/3)*(60) = 40
40 - 8 = 32
YES
The number is 60
