Do you think this graph looks more like a quadratic or exponential function? Why do you think so?

Answer:

Exponential Function

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis represents the number of Bacteria and x-axis represents the number of hours. If you observe closely you will see that the number of bacteria are doubling after each hour. For example, at time = 4 hours the number of Bacteria were about 50, at time = 5 hours the number of Bacteria were about 100 and at time = 6 hours the number of Bacteria increased to about 200.

This type of behavior is a property of exponential functions where we see a multiplicative rate of change in the values i.e. each value is a multiple of previous value. A rough model for this function would be:

f(x)=f(0)(2)^{x}

Where, f(0) represents the number of bacteria at time = 0 hours i.e. number of Bacteria initially present and "x" represents the number of hours.

Ackie got 3 wrong out of 20 questions on her social studies quiz.What percent did she answer correctly on the quiz
taurus [48]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

If she got 3 wrong then it means she got 20-3 right, so she got 17 questions right.

From there we get the fraction: 17/20

To make the a percentage we times both the top and bottom by 5 (because 20 x 5 = 100)

By doing that we get 17x5/20x5

= 85/100

That is equal to 85%

Cosine law help! Really appreciate your guys hslp
Alexandra [31]
Answer: Either 25.0 or 25 depending on how your teacher wants you to format the answer

===========================================================

Explanation:

To start off, it probably helps to translate what the question wants. 
It states "For the pilot of airplane B, calculate the angle between the lines of sight to the airplane at C and Jenny's airplane [at point A]". 
This fairly long, and possibly complex, sentence boils down to "find angle B"

To find angle B, we need to find the length of side 'a' first

Let,
a = x
b = 4.2
c = 5.7

Note how the lowercase letters (a,b,c) are opposite their uppercase counterparts (A,B,C). This is often the conventional way to label triangles. The lowercase letters are usually for the side lengths while the upper case is for the angles.

We have angle A = 120 degrees

Plug these values into the law of cosines formula below. Then solve for x
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A)
x^2 = 4.2^2 + 5.7^2 - 2*4.2*5.7*cos(120)
x^2 = 17.64 + 32.49 - 47.88*cos(120)
x^2 = 17.64 + 32.49 - 47.88*(-0.5)
x^2 = 17.64 + 32.49 + 23.94
x^2 = 74.07
x = sqrt(74.07)
x = 8.60639297266863
x = 8.6064

So side 'a' is roughly 8.6064 kilometers when we round to four decimal places

Now we'll use this to find angle B
Use the law of cosines again, but this time, the formula is slightly altered so that angle B is the focus instead of angle A

Plug in the side lengths (a,b,c). Solve for angle B
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B)
(4.2)^2 = (8.6064)^2 + (5.7)^2 - 2*(8.6064)*(5.7)*cos(B)
17.64 = 74.07012096 + 32.49 - 98.11296*cos(B)
17.64 = 106.56012096 - 98.11296*cos(B)
17.64 - 106.56012096 = 106.56012096 - 98.11296*cos(B)-106.56012096
-88.92012096  = -98.11296*cos(B)
(-88.92012096)/(-98.11296)  = (-98.11296*cos(B))/(-98.11296)
0.906303519535034 = cos(B)
cos(B) = 0.906303519535034
arccos(cos(B)) = arccos(0.906303519535034)
B = 25.0005785532867

It's a bit messier this time around, but we get the approximate angle
B = 25.0005785532867
which rounds to
B = 25.0 degrees
when we round to the nearest tenth. We can write "25.0" as simply "25"

I need help. A building with a height of 48 m casts a shadow that is 30 m long. A person standing next to the building casts a s
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

1.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

48/30 = x/.8

cross multiply

30x = 48(.8)

30x = 38.4

x = 38.4/30

x = 1.28 m
