Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We need the formula for arc length (in radians) to solve this problem. The formula is:
Where
s is the arc length
r is the radius of the circle
is the intercepted angle
In this diagram, we can see that is beign intercepted by the big arc with measure 20 cm. So arc length, s, is 20
Also, if we look, we see that the radius is 5 cm, so r = 5
Now, we substitute into formula and find :
This is given in radians, so is 4 radians
D is the correct answer choice.
Answer:
- g(20) > f(20)
- g(x) exceeds f(x) for any x > 4
Step-by-step explanation:
As with most graphing problems not involving straight lines, it works well to start with a table of values. Pick a few values of x and compute f(x) and g(x) for those values. Plot the points and draw a smooth curve through them.
As in the attached, your table will show that there are two points of intersection between f(x) and g(x), and that for values of x more than 4, g(x) becomes much greater very quickly. Both curves rapidly reach the top of your graph space.
To find whether f(20) or g(20) is greater, you can evaluate the functions for that value of x.
f(20) = 20² = 400
g(20) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576
Clearly, g(20) has a greater value.
