An exponential function is :
f ( x ) = a * b^x,
where x is the number of the years.
a = 240   ( number of the birds at start )
16 % = 0.16
b = 1 + 0.16 = 1.16
f ( x ) = 240 * 1.16^x
Answer:
a = 240,   b = 1.16

Answer:

Hence the values of a and b are given by:

a=240

and b=1.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually.

i.e. the initial population of birds is 240.

Also they are increasing at a rate of 16% =0.16.

Hence, it clearly implies that the growth is exponential and the function that represents the population of the birds after x years is given by:

f(x)=240\times (1+0.16)^x\\\\\\f(x)=240\times (1.16)^x

Hence, on comparing our function with the exponential function:

f(x)=ab^x

we have:

a=240

and b=1.16.

muminat

Answer: There is none.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no proportional relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit because for a proportional relationship to exist, the two variables need to have an equivalent ratio between them which would ensure that their values vary constantly when they are either divided or multiplied.

In other words, only the arithmetic operations of multiplication and division should be present. In the above there is an additive operation which renders the two variables being Fahrenheit and Celsius, non-proportional.

Who is SohCahToa Joe? on Csi geometry:trigonometry I need the answers.
love history [14]
SohCahToa is an acronym for the basic trigonometric functions which are sine, cosine, and tangent. Sine's value comes from the quotient of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. Cosine's value comes from the quotient of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. Lastly, Tangent is the quotient of the opposite side and the adjacent side.
