Answer:
A general exponential equation is written as:
f(x) = A*(r)^x
Where:
A is the initial value, this is the value that the function takes when x = 0.
r is the rate of growth
x is the variable.
In this case, the function is:
f(x) = 2*(4)^x
The initial value is:
f(0) = 2*(4)^0 = 2*1 = 2
The initial value is 2.
And the rate of growth is 4.
So Martin seems to mixed these two values (he said initial value = 4, and rate = 2, which is the opposite of what we found)
The bear beats its heart 50/6 times a minute during deep hibernation.
Thats 12 times a minute
45minutes x 12 times a minute
45x12 = 540
Answer: 540 times
Look at the problem and do it in order
Remark
You are using the midpoint formula. Instead of finding the midpoint, you are looking for one of the points, so you have to rearrange the formula a little bit.
Givens
Midpoint (4,2)
One endpoint (6,1)
Object
Find the other endpoint.
Formula
m(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
Solution
Find the x value
4 = (6 + x2)/2 Multiply both sides by 2
4*2 = 6 + x2 Subtract 6 from both sides.
8 - 6 = x2
x2 = 2
Find the y value
2 = (1 + y2)/2 Multiply by 2
4 = 1 + y2 Subtract 1 from both sides.
4 - 1 = y2
y2 = 3
Conclusion
R(x,y) = (2,3)
