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}

For the graph y = -8 find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it and the slope of a line parallel to it. Explain your a
AlexFokin [52]
For the graph of y = -8 the line is horizontal, which means the slope = 0. A parallel line has the same slope so one equation could be y = 2. A perpendicular line has an opposite slope so since our slope = 0 the opposite of that slope is -\frac{1}{0} which a line that is perpendicular to y = -8 could be x = -3. Also notice that these two lines form a 90 degree angle.
