Answer:
the independent quantity is "t" (time in seconds)
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells you the function rule gives you H (the dependent quantity) as a function of t seconds. "t seconds" is the independent quantity.
You would need to use the pythagorean theorum which is would be 8 squared +x squared = 15 squared
In realistic world there are so many examples which use exponential and logarithmic functions.
Use of Logarithmic function
We can find use of logarithmic function in measuring earthquake (Richter Scale) , the brightness of stars , and chemistry(pH balance , measure of acidity and alkalinity)
For example:
In Richter Scale , a logarithmic function that is used to measure the magnitude of earthquake.
If A = measure of amplitude of earthquake wave.
= Amplitude of smallest detectable wave.
From this we can find R the Richter scale measure of magnitude of earthquake.
Use of Exponential Function:Exponential function may use in finding compound interest , population growth , radioactivity decay , etc.
For example :
As we know the formula for compound interest is
Where P is principal amount , r = rate of interest(decimal) , n is the number of compounding period , t is time.
For
Well JP has $0.00 in his bank account which means his has more debt
Albert has $11.10 which means he has greater absolute value.
