The answer is A, because if b is equal to one then no matter what x is the answer on the y-axis would be one, since one to any power is one. If b is less than one, for example 0.5, then the result will get smaller as x increases. It would go 0.5^(1), then 0.5^(2)=0.25, and continue to get smaller, therefore getting closer to the x-axis.

The side lengths of the following right triangle 15,20 and 25, as shown below. The altitude from the right angle splits the hypo

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$h = 12$

$x = 9$

$y= 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 15 * 20$

$i.e\ height = 20$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 300$

$A = 150$

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25 * h$

$i.e\ height = h$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25h$

Substitute $A = 150$

$\frac{1}{2}*25h = 150$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{150 *2}{25}$

$h = 6 *2$

$h = 12$

Considering the smallest triangle

$Hypotenuse = 15$

So:

$15^2 = h^2 + x^2$

$15^2 = 12^2 + x^2$

This gives:

$15^2 - 12^2 = x^2$

$81 = x^2$

Take square roots

$9 =x$

$x = 9$

Solving for y

$x + y = 25$

$y= 25 - x$

$y= 25 - 9$

$y= 16$

What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 4

Ede4ka [16]

Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume of a sphere, start with the formula for the volume of a sphere which is shown below.

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

Here, we are given that our sphere has a radius of 4 units.

So plugging into the formula, we have $(\frac{4}{3})(\pi)(4 units)^{3}$ .

Start by simplifying the exponent.

(4 units)³ is equal to (4 units) (4 units) (4 units) or 64 units³.

So we have $(\frac{4}{3})(\pi)(64 units^3})$ .

Next, we multiply (4/3)(64) which can

be thought of as (4/3)(64/1)

So multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators,

we have $\frac{256}{3} \pi units^{3}$ .
