dang. i got a fifteen-question portfolio for math ive been working on all morning!

Answer 1

That sounds like quite a task! How can I help you with your math portfolio? Do you have specific questions or topics you're working on?

Answer 2

its got it to where each question, has, like, five parts! AAAAGH!!

Answer 3

That does sound overwhelming! Breaking it down into smaller, manageable parts can really help. If you’d like, you can share a few of the questions or parts that you're finding challenging, and I can help you work through them. What do you think?

Answer 5

Let’s break down Question 9 step by step.

A. Write the exponential equation that represents the input-output pairs in the table.

An exponential equation is typically in the form of \( y = ab^x \), where:

• \( a \) is the initial value (output when \( x = 0 \)),
• \( b \) is the growth factor,
• \( x \) is the input.

From the input-output pairs given:

• \( (-1, 5) \)
• \( (2, 320) \)
• \( (5, 20480) \)

We can find \( b \) by using the pairs.

To find \( b \):

1. Using \( (2, 320) \) and \( (5, 20480) \): \[ \text{From } (2, 320): y = ab^2 \implies 320 = ab^2 \] \[ \text{From } (5, 20480): y = ab^5 \implies 20480 = ab^5 \] Dividing the two equations: \[ \frac{20480}{320} = \frac{ab^5}{ab^2} \implies 64 = b^3 \implies b = 4 \]

Now, substitute \( b \) back into one of the equations to find \( a \): \[ 320 = ab^2 \implies 320 = a(4^2) \implies 320 = 16a \implies a = 20 \]

So, the equation is: \( y = 20 \cdot 4^x \)

B. Create a real-world situation that could be modeled by the input-output pairs in the table.

Situation: A bacterial culture grows exponentially over time. The amount of bacteria present after \( x \) hours is represented by the input-output pairs. At hour -1 (before the culture started), there were 5 bacteria. After 2 hours, there are 320 bacteria, and after 5 hours, there are 20480 bacteria.

C. Explain what \( x, y, a, \) and \( b \) represent in your real-world situation.

• \( x \): The number of hours elapsed since the start of the observation.
• \( y \): The number of bacteria present at the end of the \( x \) hours.
• \( a = 20 \): The expected initial number of bacteria at time \( x = 0 \) (in this model, it's extrapolated from the data).
• \( b = 4 \): The growth factor, which indicates that the bacteria population quadruples every hour.

D. Create a graph for the table.

To graph the input-output pairs, plot the points from the table:

• Plot the points: (-1, 5), (2, 320), (5, 20480).

You will have exponential growth, so you would see points rising steeply. You'd want to create a smooth curve that represents the growth showing an increasing trend.

E. Use the exponential equation and graph to answer the following:

1. What is the change in the output value per unit change in the input value?

   • The change is not constant; it's exponential. Each hour, the output (bacteria count) becomes four times the previous count.

2. What is the output value when the input value is 0? \[ y = 20 \cdot 4^0 = 20 \cdot 1 = 20 \]

3. What is the output value when the input value is 3? \[ y = 20 \cdot 4^3 = 20 \cdot 64 = 1280 \]

4. Use the table and graph to predict about the situation you created in part B.

   • Based on the trend in bacterial growth, we can predict that the bacteria will continue to increase exponentially, leading to a very large population if conditions remain favorable. For instance, after 6 hours, we might expect there to be approximately \( 20 \cdot 4^6 = 20 \cdot 4096 = 81920 \) bacteria.

Feel free to modify the real-world scenario or the variables if it doesn't fit your assignment! Let me know if you need further assistance with any part.
