A- Graph B shows exponential growth of a population.
Graph B is a type of exponential equation where y=a(b)^x
"a" is the initial value that intercepts the y-axis in the above equation.
"b" is the value that every value thereafter is growing (multiplying by). Note, if "b" is 1- your value is not growing (since it is staying at it's original 100%). If "b" is, for example 1.5 your value is growing by 50% each time (1 gives you your original 100%, and the .5 gives you an additional 50% on top of that).
"x" is your input, and here it is the exponent because you are multiplying "b" to the power of your input for each value.
Answer:
The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.
The passenger aircraft would take
years to reach the gallactic center.
Explanation:
The distance to the sun from the Earth is approximately equal to
, if the passenger travels at constant speed, then the time needed to reach the sun is calculated by the following kinematic formula:
(1)
Where:
- Travelled distance, measured in kilometers.
- Speed of the passenger aircraft, measured in kilometers per second.
- Travelling time, measured in seconds.
If we know that
and
, then the travelling time is:




The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.
The distance between the Earth and the galactic center is approximately equal to
. If the passenger travels at constant speed and if we know that
and
, then the travelling time is:




The passenger aircraft would take
years to reach the gallactic center.
