A wildfire is spreading at an alarming rate. The wildfire begins at a size of 8 square feet. It then doubles its width every x h

ours, and doubles its length every y hours. After a period of time, the wildfire covers 14,000 square feet.
Which equation correctly represents the area of the wildfire in terms of x and y?


A. 14,000 = 16^xy

B. 14,000 = 16xy

C. 14,000 = 8 ⋅ 2^x+y

D. 14,000 = 8 ∗ 2^xy

Answer:

D.

14000=8\times 2^{x+y}

Step-by-step explanation:

The wildfire begins at a size of 8 square feet

It means that initial area =8

It then doubles its width every x hours,

and doubles its length every y hours

so, we can set up equation

A(x,y)=8(2)^x\times (2)^y

now, we can simplify it

A(x,y)=8(2)^{x+y}

we are given

After a period of time, the wildfire covers 14,000 square feet

so, we can set A(x,y)=14000

we get

14000=8(2)^{x+y}

14000=8\times 2^{x+y}

Supplementary Angles:

\boxed{100°} and \boxed{80°}

Arithmetically speaking, the closest 2 supplementary angles can get (in 3 and 2 digits respectively) is the upwritten.

Complementary Angles:

\boxed{45°} and \boxed{45°}

Simply, in this case, for angles to be numerically as close as possible - make both the angles 45°.

Suppose that receiving stations​ X, Y, and Z are located on a coordinate plane at the points ​(6​,2​), ​(negative 2​,negative 4​
marin [14]

Answer:

  (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is useful here. Points X and Y have coordinate differences of ...

  X -Y = (6, 2) -(-2, -4) = (6+2, 2+4) = (8, 6)

Then the distance between X and Y is ...

  d = √(8² +6²) = √100 = 10

The point 5 units from X and from Y is the midpoint of XY:

  E = (X +Y)/2 = ((6, 2) +(-2, -4))/2 = (4, -2)/2 = (2, -1)

The epicenter is (2, -1).

_____

The graph shows circles of radius 5 around X and Y, and a circle of radius 13 around Z. The circles intersect at the point (2, -1), the epicenter.

If f(x)=x-2 which of the following is the inverse of f(x) brainly
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The inverse of f(x) is  f ^ {- 1}(x) = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of the function f (x) = x-2, perform the following steps:

1) do y = f (x)

y = x-2

2) Solve the equation for the variable x.

y + 2 = x -2 +2

y + 2 = x

3) exchange the variable x with the variable y

y + 2 = x ----> x + 2 = y

4) Change the variable y by f ^{- 1}(x)

Finally the inverse function is:

 f ^ {- 1} (x) = x + 2
