What do exponential functions model in the real world? How does the

1 answer:

They model various situations where there is an increasing curve. An example is if you throw a baseball and it curves back down as gravity has more and more of a affect on it. This would be a different equation than if you threw a basketball as the basketball wouldn't go as high but would have about the same downwards acceleration due to gravity.

Setler [38]

Answer:

$310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A farmer has $520 \text{ feet}$ of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one side of the pen. The length of the barn is $310 \text{ feet}$ .

TO FIND: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be enclosed under these conditions.

SOLUTION:

Let the length of rectangle be $x$ and $y$

perimeter of rectangular pen $=2(x+y)=520\text{ feet}$

$x+y=260$

$y=260-x$

area of rectangular pen $=\text{length}\times\text{width}$

$=xy$

putting value of $y$

$=x(260-x)$

$=260x-x^2$

to maximize $\frac{d \text{(area)}}{dx}=0$

$260-2x=0$

$x=130\text{ feet}$

$y=390\text{ feet}$

but the dimensions must be lesser or equal to than that of barn.

therefore maximum length rectangular pen $=310\text{ feet}$

width of rectangular pen $=210\text{ feet}$

Maximum area of rectangular pen $=310\times210=65100\text{ feet}^2$

Hence maximum area of rectangular pen is $65100\text{ feet}^2$ and dimensions are $310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}$

How does -1.125 + 1.2 = 0.075 instead of 0.925?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

.0075 (hope this help; let me know if not)

Step-by-step explanation:

The operation is + and the signs of the numbers are opposite so we have to subtract. The bigger number has positive sign in front if so we do 1.2-1.125=1.200-1.125

I'm going to line up

1.200

-1.125

---------

If you have 200 and you take about 125... 75 should beleft

1.200

-1.125

---------

0.075

Answer:

a^2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator simplifies to 5a^3 and the bottom is 15a. we can use our exponent rules to subtract exponents, so it is 1/3(a^2). this simplifies to a^2/3.
