The number of leaves that fall off a tree n days after day 1 is given by the function f (n) = 3(2)". What does the value 3 mean in this function?

A. On the first day, 3 leaves fall.

OB. On the second day, 3 leaves fall.

C. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 3 times the number of leaves that fell on the first day.

D. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 3 times the number of leaves that fell on the previous day.

What does the value 2 mean in this function?

A. On the first day, 2 leaves fall.

B. On the second day, 2 leaves fall

C. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 2 times the number of leaves that fell on the first day.

D. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 2 times the number of leaves that fell on the previous day.

A. On the first day, 3 leaves fall.

B. D. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 2 times the number of leaves that fell on the previous day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solving (a) The meaning of 3.

3 represents the initial number of leaves (i.e. the first day) and this proved as follows.

On the first day, n = 0.

Substitute 0 for n in

Solving (b) The meaning of 2.

2 represents the rate which leaves fall down.

In (a)

Take n = 1

Substitute 1 for n in

When f(1) is divided by f(0), the result 2. So, the number of leaves doubles everyday

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
