3. you sell storm windows and doors. you receive a straight
commission of 8% of the selling price of each storm window
and 12% of the selling price of each door. what total
commission will you receive for selling $5,400 in storm
windows and $28,790 in doors?

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6

answer-

the equation that models this pattern is

solution-

a researcher placed a petri dish with 32,000 bacterial cells. one hour after being placed in the vacuum chamber, the number of cells in the petri dish had halved. another hour later, the number of cells had again halved.

this can be represented as exponential decreasing function,

where,

putting the values,

y-intercept means, where x=0, so

the coordinate of this poin will be (0, 32000)

this means when x=0 or at the starting of the research, the number of bacteria cells was 32000.

after 3 hours, number of bacteria cells will be,

the   coordinate of this point will be (3, 4000)
