Answer:

f(t) = -t + 21

g(t) = 18*e^( - t / 12 + 1/4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The graphs for the similar question is attached.

- The same graph would be used as reference but with different coordinates for point of intersection of f(t) and g(t) @ ( 3 , 18 ) & ( 15 , 6 ).

Find:

- The formulas for functions f(t) and g(t).

Solution:

- First we will determine f(t) the blue graph which is a "linear" function. The general equation for the linear function is given as:

                                    f(t) = m*t + c

Where, m: is the gradient  ( constant )

            c: The f(t) intercept. ( constant )

- The gradient m can be determined by the given points that lie on the graph:

                         m = ( f(t2) - f(t1) ) / ( t2 - t1 )

                         m = ( 6 - 18 ) / ( 15 - 3 )

                         m = -12 / 12 = -1

- The constant c can be evaluated by using any one point and m substituted back into the linear expression as follows:

                          f(t) = -t + c

                          18 = -(3) + c

                           c = 21

- The function f(t) is as follows:

                            f(t) = -t + 21

- The general expression for an exponential function can be written as:

                           g(t) = a*e^(b*t)

Where, a and b are constants to be evaluated.

- We will develop two expressions for g(t) using two given points that lie on the curve as follows:

                           18 = a*e^(3*b)

                           6 = a*e^(15*b)

- Divide the two expressions we have:

                           3 = e^( 3b - 15b )

                           Ln(3) = -12*b

                           b = - Ln(3) / 12

- Then the expression 1 becomes:

                          18 = a*e^( - Ln(3)*3 / 12)

                          18 = 3*a*e^(-1/4)

                           6 = a / e^(0.25)

                           a = 6*e^( 1 / 4 )

- The function g(t) can be expressed as:

                          g(t) = 18*e^( - t / 12 + 1/4 )

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary
kirill [66]

Answer:

The angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle. The inscribed angle theorem states that the angle θ, inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle of the circle. So, if the given is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The time (t) it takes to clean an office building is <em><u>directly</u></em> <em><u>related</u></em> to the number of people (p) working.

t is proportional to p

t = kp \\  \boxed{\red{\frac{t}{p}  = k}}

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general a system of equations can be represented as ax+by=c and dx+ey=f. In order this system of equations to have NO SOLUTIONS a/d=b/a≠c/f. In our example a=6, b=4, c=14, d=3, e=2 and f=k. To apply the formula above, 6/3=4/2≠14/k. Hence k≠7. It can be concluded that except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solutions.

Just for information, if k=7 the system will have infinitely many solutions.
