The functions f(x) and g(x) in the table below show Kim's and Ben's savings respectively, in dollars, after x days. Some values
2 answers:
The table can be filled in as follows:
After 3 days, Kim's savings already exceeds Ben's, and is increasing at a faster rate. The appropriate descriptor is ...
... Kim will save more than Ben
_____
An exponential function increases faster than any polynomial function. (A linear function is a polynomial function.)
If Kim keeps up her savings for 28 days, her account balance will exceed the US Gross National Product of more than $20 trilliion. (Exponential functions tend to increase very rapidly!) Meanwhile, Ben's savings will be $89 on day 28.
_____
Please note the discrepancy in the problem statement. The verbiage says "days", but the table shows "years".

Since we know that the 38 is being bisected (which we can tell by the fact that the line hits it perpendicularly), we know that from the intersection to the edge of the circle is 19. From this we can create a right triangle in which the legs are 10 and 19 and the hypotenuse is a radius of the circle. Since x is also a radius of the circle, all we have to do is use that information to find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem and we have x.
