A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually. The patient currently has a bone d

ensity of 1,500 kg/mg3. The doctor writes an exponential function to represent the situation. Which values should the doctor use for a and b in a function written in the form f(x) = abx, where f(x) represents the bone density after x years?

Answer:

The function f(x) is represented by:

f(x)=1500(0.97)^x

Hence, a=1500 and b=0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient currently has a bone density of 1,500 kg/mg^3.

A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually.

This means that the bone density that is remaining is:

100-3=97%

which is also represented as: 97%=97/100=0.97

Hence, the function f(x) that represents the bone density after x years is represented by:

f(x)=a(0.97)^x

where a is the initial bone density which is given to be: 1500 kg/mg^3.

Hence, the function is:

f(x)=1500(0.97)^x

Alla [95]

Answer:

v =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3 }  \\ 904.32 =  \frac{4}{3}  \times 3.14 \times   {r}^{3}   \\  {r}^{3}  =  \frac{3 \times 904.32}{4 \times 3.14}  = 21.57 \\ r = 2.78

then Radias equal to 5.5676

Step-by-step explanation:

I can help you solve what you want in mathematics in exchange for some money. If you want to, you can inform me about it and I will help you.
