Answer:
<u>Fred.</u>
Started hang gliding at a height of 700 ft and descends 15 feet every seconds
<u>Gene</u>
Started hang gliding at a height of 575 ft and descends 10 feet every seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that models Fred's hang gliding is 
The initial value is 700 feet. This Fred was 700 feet above see level before he starts descending.
The rate of descent is -15 ft/s. This means Fred descends 15 feet in one second.
From the table the initial height is 575 ft. This means Gene was 575 feet above sea-level at the beginning of the hang gliding.
The rate of descent is 
ft/s.
This means that in every seconds, Gene descends 10 feet.
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.
Explanation:
As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0. This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.
This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.
As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well. Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.
So -x can also represent -1
You want to divide both sides by -1 so you can get -x to be just x
-x divided by -1 = x
-24 divided by -1 = 24
Your answer is x=24
