A dust bunny gathers dust at a rate of 11% per week. The dust bunny, Alfred, originally weighed 0.7 ounces. Write an equation th
1 answer:
Alfred is 0.7 ounces at the beginning.
After one week had passed, he is 11% larger. 0.7 * 1.11
After two weeks, the dust bunny's size is once again 11% larger.
0.7 * 1.11 * 1.11, or 0.7 * 1.11².
From here you can see that each week the dust bunny's size multiplies by 1.11. (1 whole plus 11 percent) How many times it is multiplied can be expressed with exponents.

Check the picture below.
well, we want only the equation of the diametrical line, now, the diameter can touch the chord at any several angles, as well at a right-angle.
bearing in mind that <u>perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmm let's find firstly the slope of AB, and the negative reciprocal of that will be the slope of the diameter, that is passing through the midpoint of AB.
so, it passes through the midpoint of AB,
so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 4/3 and runs through (3 , 5/2)
