The equation for exponential decay is 
, where <em>a</em> is the initial amount, <em>b</em> = 1 + <em>r</em> (the growth rate as a decimal number) and <em>x</em> is the number of time periods (in this case, minutes). Substituting the information we have:
. To the nearest tenth of a gram, this would be 1.0 grams.
Answer:
5.89 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by using different methods. I will use vectors since it's the simplest way in which we can solve it. This can be solved by using related rates of change though.
First, we start by drawing a diagram with the velocity vectors.
A= velocity of the first person
B= velocity of the second person
C= velocity in which they are moving away from each other.
Since there is no acceleration in the problem, we can suppose we are talking about constant speeds, so the velocity at which they are moving away from each other will always remain constant. (It doesn't matter what time it is, the velocity will always be the same)
Having said this we can solve this problem by using the components, by using law of cosines or graphically. I will use law of cosines. The idea is to find the length of side c.
Law of cosines:
so we can solve the formula for C so we get:
and now we can substitute the values we know:
if we want an exact answer, then that will be the exact answer, which approximates to:
C=5.89 mph

Step-by-step explanation:
Tan can be defined as: as it simplifies to opposite/adjacent. If you know a bit about the unit circle, you'll know that the x-coordinate is going to be cos(theta) and the y-coordinate is going to be sin(theta). Since the sin(theta) is defined as opposite/hypotenuse, and the hypotenuse = 1, so sin(theta) is defined as the opposite side, which is the y-axis. Same thing goes for cos(theta), except the adjacent side is the x-axis.
Using this we can define tan
