which of the following situations could be modeled by an exponential function?
A. The water level of a tank decreases by 5 gallons every day.
B. The amount of money collected by a charity increases by $5,000 each year.
C. A tree was 10 feet tall when purchased and grows at a rate of 2 feet per year.
D. The number of people in a stadium is decreasing at a rate of 45% every 10 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is something like:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A = initial amount.

r = rate of growth

x = variable.

This type of function is used to describe situations like "you have A dollars, and it increases by 30% each week"

or:

"There is a population of A animals, and it doubles each year"

Let's analyze briefly all the given options and see which one is an exponential function.

A) The water level of a tank decreases by 5 gallons every day.

This is a linear relation, if W is the initial amount of water, and x is the number of days, then the water level of the tank after x days is:

y = W - 5 gal*x

B) The amount of money collected by a charity increases by $5,000 each year.

The amount collected increases $5000 each year.

Then if in year 1 they collected A.

in year 2 they collected A + $5000

in year 3 they collected A + 2*$5000

We already can see the pattern, this is a linear relation:

in year X they colected A + (X - 1)*$5000

C) A tree was 10 feet tall when purchased and grows at a rate of 2 feet per year.

if y is the height of the tree, and x is the number of years, this can be written as:

y = 10ft + x*2ft

Again, a linear relation.

D) The number of people in a stadium is decreasing at a rate of 45% every 10 minutes.

Let's define x as each "lapse" of 10 minutes that passes.

If N is the initial number of people in te stadium, then after 10 minutes the number of people is = N*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*(1 - 0.45) = N*0.55

After another 10 minutes, the population decreases again.

N*0.55*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*0.55*0.55 = N*0.55^2

We can see the pattern here, this can be written as

People(x) = N*(0.55)^x

This is an exponential function.

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large bubble. Each small bubble has a radius of 5 centimeters. What is the radius of the large bubble?

Answers

find area of 1 small bubble

πr² = π × 5²

= 78.54

total area of 4 small bubble

78.54 × 4 = 314.16

total area of 4 small bubble = area of big bubble

= 314.16

find it's radius

πr² = 314.16

r² = 314.16 ÷ π

r² = 100

r = √100

r = 10

Answer:

AREA OF LARGE BUBBLE=PI×R^2

AREA OF 1 SMALL BUBBLE =PI×r^2

then area of 4 small bubble =(PI×r^2)×4

now,

area of large bubble =area of 4 small bubble

PI×R^2=4×(PI×r^2)

R= 10 cm

c. (x + 1 - i ) (x + 1 - i)
d. ( x + 2) (x + 1)

Answers

The answer is Option A.

x + 1 - i ) (x + 1 + i)

Solution:

x (x+2) +2

(x+1)² + 1

= (x + 1 - i ) (x + 1 + i)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for the expression you wrote: x2 + 2x + 2 the answer is: none

the expression you have there is: x² + 2x + 2 and the answer is: a

by expanding a:

(x + 1 - i ) (x + 1 + i) = x² + x + xi + x + 1 + i - xi - i  + 1

(x + 1 - i ) (x + 1 + i) = x² + x + x + 1 + 1

(x + 1 - i ) (x + 1 + i) = x² + 2x + 2

What’s 142,000,000 written in scientific notations

Answers

1.42 x 108 in scientific notation

Answer:

1.42 x 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number to be in scientific notation, it has to be between 1 and 10, so for it to meet that criteria, we would have to put the decimal point between the 1 and 4. The exponent is equal to the amount of numbers after the decimal point. We know that we have 2 numbers with the 4 and 2, and if you add all the 0s to that, we get 8. So the exponent will be 8. We add those two elements together, we get our answer, 1.42 x 10^8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The following figure shown is a triangle

The area of a triangle can be calculated using this formula

[tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex] where b = base and h =height

The height of the triangle is 12.1 ft and the base length is 9.5ft

Knowing this information all we have to do is plug in the values into the formula

[tex]A=\frac{12.1*9.5}{2} \\12.1*9.5=114.95\\\frac{114.95}{2} =57.475\\A=57.475[/tex]

So we can conclude that the area of the triangle is 57.475 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is a special right triangle. In triangles with the angles 30, 60, and 90, the side opposite of the 30 degree angle will always be half the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. In a 30 60 90 triangle, the long side will be equal to the short side multiplied by the squareroot of 3, but that is not needed for this problem. Since the hypotenuse is 12, the side opposite of the 30 degree angle, labeled "s h o r t" will be half of 12. Half of 12 is equal to 6, therefore the short side will be equal to 6.

Using point (-3,0)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 5/3 (x - (-3))
