The annual average price per square foot for office space in a city was $30.18 in 2004, and it was $66.85 in 2015.
(a) Find an exponential function of the form f(t)=y0b^t to model these data in which t=0 corresponds to 2004.

Answers

Answer 1

The exponential model of the given data is f(t) = 30.18 × 1.06^t.

What are the rules of exponents?

Some of the rules of exponents are as follows,

The product of two exponents having the same power is equal to the power of their base multiplied.

The product of two exponents having the same base is equal to the sum of the powers of different exponents to the same base.

Given that,

The average price for office space in 2004 is $30.18.

The average price for office space in 2015 is $66.85.

Suppose the average price in 2004 is taken as y₀.

The given situation can be represented in the form of exponential function f(t) = y₀b^t as,

Take t = 0 for 2004

Then,  f(0) = y₀b^0

⇒ f(0) = y₀ = $30.18.

Then, at 2015, t = 12. Substitute the respective values to get,

f(12) = 30.18 × b^12

⇒ 66.85 = 30.18 × b^12

⇒ b^12 = 66.85 / 30.18

⇒ b = 1.06

Thus in exponential form the given situation can be written as,

f(t) =30.18 × 1.06^t

Hence, the given data can be modeled in exponential function as  f(t) =30.18 × 1.06^t.

Answer:

The limit does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the left hand limit is 3,we know this because as the graph approaches from the left side of the Cartesian plan the open dot is on 3

and the right hand limit is 1 because as the graph approaches the X=1 from the right hand side the open dot lands on 1

Since the left hand limit doesn't equal to right hand limit,the overall limit of x=1 doesn't exist.

Solve the equation below for x
Cx — 4 = 7

Answers

The equation for the value of x will be 11/C.

According to the question,

We have the following equation:

Cx — 4 = 7

Now, we can easily find the value of x from this equation by following the given steps.

We will first add 4 on both sides of the equation:

Cx = 7+4

Adding the two numbers on the right hand side:

Cx = 11

Dividing by C on both sides of the equation:

x = 11/C

(More to know: we can now find the value of x if the value of C is given.)

Hence, the equation for the value of x will be 11/C.

4x + 10y = 2
x - 10y = 13

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 10y = 2        Eq. 1

 x  - 10y = 13       Eq. 2

The result of the sum of Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 is:

4x + x = 5x

10y - 10y = 0y = 0

2 + 13 = 15

Then the result is:

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

From Eq. 2:

x - 10y = 13

3 - 10y = 13

-10y = 13 - 3

-10y = 10

y = 10/-10

y = -1

Check:

From Eq. 1:

4x + 10y = 2

4*3 + 10*-1 = 2

12 - 10 = 2

The solution of the equation is that the value of x = 3 and y = -1.

What is an expression?

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

The equation will be solved as,

4x + 10y = 2        Eq. 1

x  - 10y = 13       Eq. 2

The result of the sum of Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 is:

4x + x = 5x

10y - 10y = 0y = 0

2 + 13 = 15

Then the result is:

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

From Eq. 2:

x - 10y = 13

3 - 10y = 13

-10y = 13 - 3

-10y = 10

y = 10/-10

y = -1

Therefore, the solution of the equation is that the value of x = 3 and y = -1.

What is inequality?

A relationship between two expressions or values that are not equal to each other is called an inequality.

Here, we have

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group

x²(x+5) - 4(x+5) = 0

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, (x+5)

(x+5)(x²-4) = 0

Rewrite 4 as 2².

(x+5)(x²-2²) = 0

(x+5)(x+2)(x-2) = 0

Now,

x+5 = 0

x-2 = 0

x+2 = 0

set x+5 =0 then we get

x = -5

Which of the following (x,y) coordinates are solutions to the inequality 2x+5y<1?

Answers

The solution to the inequality given as 2x+5y<1 has the coordinates of (-10, 4)

How to determine the coordinates of the solution of the inequality?

From the question, we have the following inequality that can be used in our computation:

2x+5y<1

Solving further, we need to collect the like terms

Since there are no like terms in the expression, it remains unchanged

So, the inequality becomes

2x + 5y < 1

Subtract 5y from both sides of the inequality

This gives

2x < 1 - 5y

Divide both sides by 2

The expression becomes

x < 1/2 - 5/2y

Evaluate

x < 0.5 - 2.5y

At this point, we assume any value for y and then solve for x

Assume that the value of y is 4

So, we have the following representation

x < 0.5 - 2.5 * 4

Evaluate the products

x < -9.5

This means that x is less than -9.5 when y is 4

-10 is less than -9.5

So, we have

x = -10 and y = 4

Express as ordered pairs (i.e. coordinates)

(x, y) = (-10, 4)

Hence, the coordinates of the solution is (-10, 4)

The height of a person is 5.2ft in centimeter: 158.49cm

What are the Factors?A factor is a number that completely divides another number. To put it another way, if adding two whole numbers results in a product, then the numbers we are adding are factors of the product because the product is divisible by them.

So, the conversion of measurement from the unit feet to centimeters is provided by the feet-to-centimeter calculator.

The letters "ft" and "cm" stand for feet and centimeters, respectively. The centimeter is used in the International System of Units and is regarded as a component of the metric system. The US customary measurement system uses the unit foot.

Approximately 30.48 cm makes up one foot.

1 ft = 30.48 cm

Now, the formula for 5.2 feet to centimeters is as follows:We are aware that 1 foot equals 30.48 centimeters.

Therefore, 5.2 feet equals 5.2 x 30.48 centimeters.

5.2 ft = 158.49 cm.

5.2 feet is therefore equal to 158.49 cm in centimeters.

Hence, the height of a person who is 5.2 feet tall to centimeters is 158.49cm.

How to derive a quadratic equation that contains three points

In this question we find the coordinates of three points set on Cartesian plane and we are asked to find the quadratic equation that contains the these points. The standard form of the quadratic equation is shown below:

y = a · x² + b · x + c

Where:

x - Independent variable.y - Dependent variable.a, b, c - Real coefficients.

We can determine the values of the three coefficients because the number of known points is equal to the number of coefficients. Then, we have the following system of linear equations by replacing x and y on each of the three points:

9 · a + 3 · b + c = 0

25 · a - 5 · b + c = 0

36 · a - 6 · b + c = - 36

Then, the solution to the system is found by numerical methods:
