1. The equation represent an exponential decay

2. The rate of the exponential decay is -3×2.5ˣ·㏑(2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function a(t) = a₀(1 + r)ˣ has exponential growth, the logarithm of x grows with time such that;

log a(t) = log(a₀) + x·log(1 + r)

Hence in the equation -3 ≡ a₀, (1 + r) ≡ 2.5 and y ≡ a(t). Plugging in the values in the above equation for the condition of an exponential growth, we have;

log y = log(-3) + x·log(2.5)

Therefore, since log(-3) is complex, the equation does not represent an exponential growth hence the equation represents an exponential decay.

The rate of the exponential decay is given by the following equation;

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{d(-3(2.5)^x)}{dx} = -\frac{d(3\cdot e^{x\cdot ln(2.5)})}{dx} = -3 \times 2.5^x\times ln(2.5)$

Hence the rate of exponential decay is -3×2.5ˣ × ㏑(2.5)

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
