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

daser333 [38]

Given:

The discount is 25%.

The selling price of the shirt after the sale is $20.99.

To find:

The selling price of the shirt before the sl;e

Explanation:

Let the old price be x.

The equation can be framed as follows,

\begin{gathered} (\frac{100-25}{100})\times x=20.99 \\ \frac{75}{100}\times x=20.99 \\ x=20.99\times\frac{100}{75} \\ x=27.986 \\ x\approx27.99 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The selling price of the shirt before the sale is $27.99.

10. The volume of the triangular prism is V=A_{base}\cdot H=\dfrac{1}{2} height \cdot base\cdot H, then

V=\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4\cdot 3.5\cdot 3.3=23.1.

11. The volume of the triangular pyramid is V=\dfrac{1}{3}A_{base}\cdot H=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{2} height \cdot base\cdot H, then

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4\cdot 3.5\cdot 3.3=7.7.

12. They have common base (common triangle). y=7.7, r=23.1, then r:y=23.1:7.7=3.

13. See 10 and 11 for notations in symbols.

Which regular polygon has a minimum rotation of 45 degrees to carry the polygon onto itself?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Hence, a regular polygon that has a minimum rotation of 45 degrees to carry the polygon onto itself is:

A. octagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the for a regular polygon with 'n' sides the minimum rotation that can carry the polygon onto itself is:

\dfrac{360\degree}{n}

Here we are given the minimum angle of  rotation such that polygon is transformed to itself as 45 degree.

i.e. we have:

\dfrac{360}{n}=45\\\\n=\dfrac{360}{45}\\\\n=8

Hence, the number of sides of a polygon are 8.

Hence, the polygon is:

A. octagon.

( Since a polygon with 8 sides is called a octagon)

A rectangular piece of cheese is 9 centimeters long is 5 centimeters wide. What is the perimeter
denis23 [38]

Solution:

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2B

<u>Given:</u>

  • L = 9 cm
  • W = 5 cm

<em>Substitute the values into the expression to find the perimeter.</em>

  • Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2B
  • => 2(9) + 2(5)
  • => 18 + 10
  • => 28 cm
