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

4/7 of the birthday cake was eaten on your birthday. the next day your dad ate 1/2 of what was left. you get to finish the cake,
luda_lava [24]
During the birthday 4/7 of the cake was eaten so it remained 1-4/7=3/7
the next day 1/2 of 3/7 was eaten what remained is 3/7 divide by 1/2
to divide we invert the second fraction (1/2) and multiply 3/7
3/7 x 2/1=6/7
