Identify the initial amount a and the growth factor b in the exponential function.f(t)=1.4^t

1 answer:

6 0

Initial amount is when no change has happened or when t=0
that iniital amoun tis 1
the growth factor
welll, it grows by 40% each time of previous times

I would say growth factor of 1.4

f(x)=a(b)^t
f(t)=1(1.4)^t
initial amount is 1
grouth factor is 1.4

Answer:

EF = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of EF

To do this, we use the principle of similar triangles

The similar triangles we are considering here will be ;

FEA and FBD

when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Let us calculate DC first

we can use Pythagoras’ theorem here and it is that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the two other sides

Using the triangle EDC

15^2 = 12^2 + DC^2

DC^2 = 225-144

DC^2 = 81

DC = 9

So the entire length of BD is 9 + 12 = 21 cm

Thus, we have it that;

Let EF be x

so DF = 15 + x

Hence;

BD/DF = AE/EF

21/15+x = 12/x

21x = 12(15 + x)

21x = 180 + 12x

21x-12x = 180

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20 cm

EF = 20 cm

A pyramid with a square base of length 3cm and height 16cm

Oksana_A [137]

H = 16 cm
s = 16.0702 cm
a = 3 cm
e = 16.14 cm
r = 1.5 cm
V = 48 cm3
L = 96.421 cm2
B = 9 cm2
A = 105.421 cm<span>2

The volume of a square pyramid:V = (1/3)a2hSlant Height of a square pyramid:By the Pythagorean theorem, we know thats2 = r2 + h2since r = a/2s2 = (1/4)a2 + h2, ands = √(h2 + (1/4)a2)This is also the height of a triangle sideLateral Surface Area of a square pyramid (4 isosceles triangles):For the isosceles triangle Area = (1/2)Base x Height. Our base is side length a, and for this calculation our height for the triangle is slant height s. With four
sides we need to multiply by 4.L = 4 x (1/2)as = 2as = 2a√(h2 + (1/4)a2)Squaring the 2 to get it back inside the radical,L = a√(a2 + 4h2)Base Surface Area of a square pyramid (square):B = a2Total Surface Area of a square pyramid:A = L + B = a2 + a√(a2 + 4h2))A = a(a + √(a2 + 4h2))</span>

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Average speed = 100 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total distance covered = 250 km

Total time taken = 8:30 am - 6:00 am = 2:30 hours = 2.5

Find:

Average speed.

Computation:

⇒ Average speed = Total distance covered / Total time taken

⇒ Average speed = 250 / 2.5

⇒ Average speed = 100 km/h

I need to work out x

frutty [35]

Answer:

9,765 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll solve out the measurements for triangle ABC then it will be easy to figure out x

For triangle ABC, we have

Angle B = 90 degrees.

Angle A (CAB) = 38 degrees (the angle CAD is 19 and is said to be half of CAB, since the line AD is a bisector).

Angle C = 180 - 90 - 38 = 52 degrees.

To find the measurement of the BC line, which we label a, we know that

$\frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{c}{sin(c)}$

So, we can isolate the a to get:

$a = \frac{c * sin(A)}{sin(c)} = \frac{25 * sin(38)}{sin(52)} = 19.53$

Now we know the segment BC is 19.53 cm.

And we know that segments CD and DB are equal, since AD is a bisector, cutting the CAB angle in half.

So, CD is half of BC.... so 19.53 / 2 = 9.765 cm

If Wayne buys a motorcycle for $8000. Each year the motorcycle loses 20% of its value from the previous year. How much is the mo

nexus9112 [7]

20/100 x 8000 = 1600
1600 x 3 = 4800
8000 - 4800 = 3200

The motorcycle is worth $3,200 after three years.
