Answer:

B) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given exponential function:

f(x)=3(5)^x

The growth factor between x=1 and x=3 is 25.

To find the growth factor between x=5 and x=7

Solution:

The growth factor of an exponential function in the interval x=a and x=b is given by :

G=\frac{f(b)}{f(a)}

We can check this by plugging in the given points.

The growth factor between x=1 and x=3 would be calculated as:

G=\frac{f(3)}{f(1)}

f(3)=3(5)^3

f(1)=3(5)^1

Plugging in values.

G=\frac{3(5)^3}{3(5)^1}

G=\frac{(5)^3}{(5)^1} (On canceling the common terms)

G=(5)^{(3-1)}  (Using quotient property of exponents \frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)} )

G=(5)^{2}

∴ G=25  

Similarly the growth factor between x=5 and x=7 would be:

G=\frac{f(7)}{f(5)}

f(7)=3(5)^7

f(5)=3(5)^5

Plugging in values.

G=\frac{3(5)^7}{3(5)^5}

G=\frac{(5)^7}{(5)^5} (On canceling the common terms)

G=(5)^{(7-5)}  (Using quotient property of exponents \frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)} )

G=(5)^{2}

∴ G=25  

Thus, the growth factor remains the same which is  =25.

Answer:

Total Distance = 2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

First Leg:

Rate = x mph

Time = 20/60 = 1/3 hour

Hence, D = RT, Distance = x * 1/3 = x/3 miles

Second Leg:

Rate = x - 1

Time = 30/60 = 1/2 hour

Distance = (x - 1) * 1/2 = (x-1)/2

Total distance is the sum of both the legs, hence,

Total distance = \frac{x}{3}+\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{2x+3(x-1)}{6}=\frac{2x+3x-3}{6}=\frac{5x-3}{6} miles

Since both the distance are equal we can equate and solve:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x-1}{2}\\2x=3x-3\\x=3

Plugging this x = 3 into the total distance expression, we get:

\frac{5x-3}{6}\\\frac{5(3)-3}{6}\\=2

Total distance, 2 miles

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (a^4/b^2)^3
Oksanka [162]
The answer is B: <span> a^12/b^6

Proof:

Simplify the following:
(a^4/b^2)^3

Multiply each exponent in a^4/b^2 by 3:
(a^(3×4))/((b^2)^3)

3×4 = 12:
a^12/(b^2)^3

Multiply exponents. (b^2)^3 = b^(2×3):
a^12/b^(2×3)
2×3 = 6:
