Answer:
The function f(x) is represented by:

Hence, a=1500 and b=0.97
Step-by-step explanation:
The patient currently has a bone density of 1,500 kg/mg^3.
A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually.
This means that the bone density that is remaining is:
100-3=97%
which is also represented as: 97%=97/100=0.97
Hence, the function f(x) that represents the bone density after x years is represented by:

where a is the initial bone density which is given to be: 1500 kg/mg^3.
Hence, the function is:

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
-8(17-12)
------------
-2(8-(-2)
= -8(5)
--------
-2(10)
= -40
----------
-20
<h2>Ans 2</h2>
Find if all the ratios are proportional to 1:8. 2:16 is, so is 3:24, and 4:32. 4.5*8=36, and 5:40 is proportional. 6:48 is, and 6.5*8=52. The table is proportional, just divide the pay by the hours and you should be getting 8.
Imagine the area is 360 degrees, or

radians.
You would multiply it by (3/8) to get your answer.
