Initially, there were only 86 weeds in the garden. The weeds grew at a rate of 29% each week. The following function represents

the weekly weed growth: f(x) = 86(1.29)x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the weeds grow each day.
A.f(x) = 86(1.04)x; grows approximately at a rate of 0.4% daily
B.f(x) = 86(1.04)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 4% daily
C.f(x) = 86(1.29)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 20% daily
D.f(x) = 86(1.297)x; grows approximately at a rate of 2% daily

Step-by-step answer:

The base of the exponential function is 1.29 for 7 days, as in

f(x) = 86*(1.29)^x

The new rate for days can be calculated by dividing x by 7 (where x remains the number of weeks), namely

f(x) = 86*1.29^(x/7)

Using the law of exponents, b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x

we simplify by putting b=1.29, a=7 to get

f(x) = 86*(1.29^(1/7))^x

f(x) = 86*(1.037)^x      since 1.29^(1/7) evaluates to 1.037

Rounding 1.037 to 1.04 we get a (VERY) approximate function

f(x) = 86 * (1.04^x)

1.04 is very approximate because 1.04^7 is supposed to get back 1.29, but it is actually 1.316, while 1.037^7 gives 1.2896, much closer to 1.29.

Hi everyone I was wondering if someone could please help me out with this problem and explain it to me
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Join the centre O to the chord (let it be MN) & let OH be the perpendicular to the chord

OH bisects MN into 2 equal parts (each one is x/2)
OMH is a right triangle with one side =8, the second leg =x/2 & the hypotenuse = 12 (Radius)
Apply Pythagoras:

12² = 8² +(x/2)² ==>144=64 + x²/4 ==> x²=4(144-64) =320

x²=320==> x=√320 =17.88 ≈17.9

Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between −50 and 12?
Softa [21]

Answer:

 62 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number A is the positive distance between 0 and the number A (you can think this distance as the distance measured with a ruler from 0 to the number). For example:

|-2|=2 ,  |25|=25,  |-3|=3, |-25.3|=25.3

Note that the absolte value is always positive.

The distance between two numbers P,Q in the real line is the absolute value of the difference between the two points:

Hence, the distnce between P=-50 and Q=12 is equal to
