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

What is the principal square root of -4
devlian [24]

Answer:

The principal square root of -4 is 2i.

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{-4} = 2i

We have the following steps to get the answer:

Applying radical rule \sqrt{-a} =\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{a}

We get \sqrt{-4} =\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{4}

As per imaginary rule we know that \sqrt{-1}=i

= \sqrt{4} i

Now \sqrt{4} =2

Hence, the answer is 2i.

PLEASE HELP,, MARKING BRAINLIEST!!!<br><br> Solve for x
Trava [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...

  x/8 = (x +5)/12

  3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions

  3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...

  (x +5) -(x) = 5

and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...

  12 -8 = 4

This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...

  x = (5/4)(8) = 10
