The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".

600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²

The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length

y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>

Does each equation represent exponential decay or exponential growth?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

  decay: a, b

  growth: c, d, e, f

  neither: g

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is exponential if it has the independent variable in an exponent. g(x) is a linear function, not an exponential function.

__

An exponential function is a growth function if the coefficient of the variable is positive and the base of the exponent is greater than 1. It is a decay function if the exponent is positive and the base is less than 1.

The first two functions are decay functions. The remaining four exponential functions are growth functions.

Jerome's rain gauge showed 13 9/10 centimeters at the end of last month. At the end of this month, the rain gauge showed 15 3/10
nexus9112 [7]
<span>Jerome’s rain gauge shows that there’s 13 9/10 centimeter at the end of last month.
=> for the end of this month, it shows 15 3/10 centimeters.
The question is, how manu centimeter of rain added for this month according to Jerome’s gauge.
=> 15 3/10 cm (this month’s rain measurement)
=> 13 9/10 cm (last month’s rain measurement)
Subtract both numbers.
=> 15 3/10 – 13 9/10
=> convert this first to improper fraction
=> 153/10 – 139/10
=> 14/10
=> 1 4/10 the rain added to for this month
