1. Since the sales of 8-track players are decreasing by 5.1% per year, we can say that the sales after a year are 94.9% of the sales of the previous year. For succeeding years, we just multiply the percentage a number of times corresponding to the number of years. Forming an exponential function for this we'll get:

$f(x) = 390*0.949^{x}$ where x is the number of years and f(x) is the number of sales.

To find the number of sales in 2013 we just plug in 3 for the value of x:

$f(3) = 390*0.949^{3}=333$

ANSWER: Emporium sold 333 8-track players in 2013.

2. The half life of Neptunium-229 is modeled by $A=500* \frac{1}{2} ^{ \frac{t}{4} }$ where A is the final amount and t is the time that has passed in minutes. This just means that the original amount will be multiplied by one half for every 4 minutes.

30 minutes has passed from 7:45 am to 8:15 am. Therefore, we just substitute 30 as the value of t to find the amount of Neptunium remaining by 8:15.

$A=500* \frac{1}{2} ^{ \frac{30}{4} }=2.76$

ANSWER: 2.76 grams of Neptunium-229 are remaining at 8:15 am.

3. To find how much annual interest is collected over x years, we just do the same modelling as the previous items. Knowing that the initial amount that Mr. Canonaco deposited into his bank account and that the Dewey, Cheetum, & Howe Credit Union collects 6.25% annual interest per year, the equation will be as follows:

$f(x)=2475.76*0.0625^{x}$ where x is the number of years and f(x) is the annual interest collected.

Answer from: Quest

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x.

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

Answer from: Quest

the answer for this question is : 360°

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a triangle we need to tell which one of these is a triangle below to map onto itself.

360° rotation is the complete rotation which eventually leads to the same figure which is given.

the correct will be, that is 360° that will cause the triangle below to map onto itself.
