A triangle has side lengths of 10 inches, 24 inches, and 26 inches. is this a right triangle?

1 answer:

7 0

To check it we can use Pythagorean theorem.
$a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where c is the longest side.
Lets check it
Assume that a=10 and b= 24
$10^2+24^2=100+576=676$
Now lets compare with c^2=676
Its equal, so its right triangle.

You want to calculate the value of your car each year when it depreciates by 15%. What does the term y mean in the exponential f

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Value of the car after x years

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are generally expressed in the form: $y=a(b)^x$ and since this function is decreasing, meaning it has an exponential decay, it can be expressed as: $y=a(1-r)^x$ where r=rate of decay.

In this case the a represents the initial value or y-intercept, since when x=0, (1-r)^0 = 1, so we just have y=a(1) or y=a

The r represents the rate of decay

the x usually represents the time in seconds, days, months, or whatever unit is being used

The y value represents the value of whatever your measuring, and in this context it represents the value of the car after x years.

This is because a represents the initial value

After one year it's only 85% worth it's initial value or 15% less which is represented as 0.85(a)

After two years it's only 85% worth the previous year or 15% less the previous year, which is represented as 0.85(0.85(a))

This will continue to decrease the number of years increase

A country's population in 1994 was 182 million. In 2002 it was 186 million. Estimate the population in 2004 using the exponentia

iogann1982 [59]

$\bf =ae^{kt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
1994\impliedby \textit{year 0, starting point}\\
t=0\qquad P=182
\end{cases}\implies 182=ae^{k0}
\\\\\\
182=a\cdot e^0\implies 182=a\cdot 1\implies 182=a
\\\\\\
thus\qquad P=182e^{kt}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf P=182e^{kt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
2002\impliedby \textit{8 years later}\\
t=8\qquad P=186
\end{cases}\implies 186=182e^{k8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{186}{182}=e^{8k}\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=ln(e^{8k})\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=8k
\\\\\\
\cfrac{ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)}{8}=k\implies 0.0027\approx k\implies \boxed{P=182e^{0.0027t}}$

what's the population in 2004? well, from 1994 to 2004 is 10 years later, so t = 10

plug that in, to get P for 2004
