Answer:
Option A
f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of gnats the scientists have gathered
At 0 hours, they gathered 12 gnats.
Checking all the options, applying x = 0 makes the index part become 1 (Anything raised to the power zero is 1).
So, we have the following functions
f(x) = 12.5
f(x) = 12.6
f(x) = 6.2
f(x) = 1.6
This has reduced our work, as we can screen out options C and D, they are too far from 12. This leaves us with option A and B.
At 1 hour, they gathered 20 gnats.
Checking options A and B
A. f(x) = 12.5(1.6)
= 20
B. f(x) = 12.6(6.2)
By inspection, 12 × 6 is already 72,
12.6 × 6.2 will be more.
By these, we can conclude that f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x has the best models the number of gnats the scientists have gathered after the number of hours listed in the given table.

see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Using De Moivre's theorem
Given
[ 4(cos15° + isin15° ) ]³, then
= 4³ [ cos(3 × 15°) + isin(3 × 15°) ]
= 64 (cos45° + isin45° )
= 64 (
+ i )
= 64 ( (1 + i) )
= 32
(1 + i)
= 32 + 32 i
The median is the middle value, so put them all in numerical order, (1,2,4,6,7, ect.), and find the middle. If there is two numbers in the middle find the number exactly between them.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Description
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 2 solutions
b. 2 imaginary solutions
c. If the discriminant is positive, then it will have 2 real solutions as the square root of a positive number always equals a positive number. If the discriminant is negative, the quadratic equation will have 2 imaginary solutions, as the square root of a negative number is always imaginary. If the discriminant equals 0, it will have only 1 real solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
If it helps, write as a product of fractions, grouped by variable.
Now reduce using exponent rules.
