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.

Show that cos^2 330degrees=1
Sholpan [36]
Actually it's not 1 

330 in 4th quadratic is just 30 in 1st and cos is +ve

so you have

sqrt(3)/2 ^2 = 3/4 = 0.75

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information for choice B, this is what can be done.

For n = 2, 32(\frac{1}{2})^{2} = 8

In the sequence, 8 is the first sequence number.
