X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x

1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20

2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2

Substitute into second equation

10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2

Substitute back in

b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2

End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x

2x -3y =2<br><br> x = 6y - 5
never [62]
2(6y - 5) - 3y = 2
12y - 10 - 3y = 2
9y - 10 = 2
9y = 12
y = 4/3, or 1 1/3
2x - 3(4/3) = 2
2x - 12/3 = 2
2x - 4 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3

Trigonometry (ASAP) (Urgent) ​
Olin [163]

Answer:

h = 1.403733341286

Step-by-step explanation:

17.

the triangle of sides ‘l’ and ‘l-h’ is a right angled triangle.

Then

\cos \theta =\frac{l-h}{l}

Then

l\cos \theta =l-h

Then

h=l-l\cos \theta

18.

For l = 6  and  θ = 40 :

h=l-l\cos \theta

  = 6-6cos(40)

  = 1.403733341286
