Answer:
P(t) = 3000 * 4^(t/10)
Step-by-step explanation:
There is more than one way to get an exponential function out of the information given. The way the question is worded, however, seems to suggest the following type of answer:
One general form of the exponential function is y = a·bx, where a is the initial value, and b is the growth or decay factor. So right away we can say that a = 2300.
Now for the growth factor. When something is increasing or decreasing by a certain percentage, we are adding or subtracting that percentage to the 100% (which is equal to 1) that exists currently. So here we're increasing by 11%, or 0.11. Then the growth factor b is (1 + 0.11), or 1.11.
Use PENDAS
multiply first then add, so 13+ 84 +9 = 106
The corresponding sides of the model and the actual bridge are in proportion because the two solids are similar.
The scale factor from the model to the actual bridge is 5/25 = 6/30 = 8/40 = 1/5.
Answer: 1/5
