Answer:

D. Exponential Growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the equation is y = 10^x which is an exponential function.

When x = 1 , y = 10, when x = 2, y = 10^2 = 100, when x = 3, y = 10^3 = 1000 which is 10 times more powerful for each unit increase of x.

The answer is Exponential growth.

On a map the perimeter of the is 0.251 meters. The actual perimeters of the park is 1,000 times as large. What is the actual per

raketka [301]

The actual perimeter of the park is $\boxed{\bf251{\text{ meters}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of the park is on a map $0.251{\text{ meters}}$ . The measured perimeter of the park is 1000 times as large.

Calculation:

The distance of the closed figure is called as the perimeter.

The perimeter of the attached Figure 1 can be calculated as,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Perimeter}}&=a+a+b+b\\&=2\left({a+b}\right)\\\end{aligned}$

Here, $x,y{\text{ and }}z$ is the length of the shape.

From place value chart, 10 tens is equal to 1 hundreds.

Tenths are one place after the decimal and hundredths are two places after the decimal.

Two tenths can be written in the form of decimal as follows:

$\dfrac{2}{{10}}=0.2$

Five hundredths can be written in the form of decimal as follows:

$\dfrac{5}{{100}}=0.05$

One thousandths can be written in the form of decimal as follows:

$\dfrac{1}{{1000}}=0.001$

Therefore, the number 0.251 can be written as,

$\begin{aligned}0.251&=\frac{2}{{10}}+\frac{5}{{100}}+\frac{1}{{1000}}\\&=0.2+0.05+0.001\\&=0.251\\\end{aligned}$

On the map the perimeter of the park is $0.251{\text{ meters}}$ .

Let ${\text{P}}$ be the actual perimeter of the park.

The actual perimeter of the park can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{P}}&=0.251\times1000\\&=251{\text{ meters}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the actual perimeter of the park is $\boxed{\bf251{\text{ meters}}}$ .

The air Temperature is -12C at sunrise and rises 4 degrees c every hour for several hours the air temperature after x hours is r

Stolb23 [73]

Let f(x) = y.

y = 4x - 12

Let x = 0

y = 4(0) - 12

y = - 12

This leads to the point (0, -12).

Let y = 0.

0 = 4x - 12

1 2 = 4x

12/4 = x

3 = x

This leads to the point (3, 0).

We now graph both points and then connect each point with a straight line.

Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4,6) (3,-8)

(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

((-8) - (6)) / ((3) - (-4))

(-8 - 6) / (3 + 4)
