Hello!
The graph, (2/5)^x is an exponential function.
Since there is not a negative symbol in the front of the function, options A and B are incorrect.
For option 3 to be correct, there would need to be a negative symbol in front of the exponent, x.
So therefore, the answer option 4. (Also, I'll post a graph. :))
Answer:
44.81 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
In the right triangle ACD
Find the length side AC (height of the small fire tower)
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
Solve for AC
step 2
In the right triangle ABE
Find the length side AB
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
solve for AB
step 3
How many feet off the ground is the squirrel?
Subtract the length side segment AB from the length side segment AC
so
