The arc length (s) is given in terms of the radius (r) and central angle (θ) by
s = r*θ . . . . . . . where θ is in radians

For your arc, the length is
s = (15 ft)*(π/4) ≈ 11.78 ft

_____
45° can be converted to radians by multiplying by π/180°.
45° * (π/180°) = π*(45/180) = π/4 . . . . radians

Function f is an exponential function. It predicts the value of a famous painting, in thousands of dollars, as a function of the

nalin [4]

Answer:

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

$f(x)=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

or

$f(x)=8 \cdot (1.25)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to see if the exponential curve is of the form:

$y=a \cdot b^x$ , ( $b\neq 0$ ).

If you are given the $y-$ intercept, then $a$ is easy to find.

It is just the $y-$ coordinate of the $y-$ intercept is your value for $a$ .

(Why? The $y-$ intercept happens when $x=0$ . Replacing $x$ with 0 gives $y=a \cdot b^0=a \cdot 1=a$ . This says when $x=0 \text{ that} y=a$ .)

So $a=8$ .

So our function so far looks like this:

$y=8 \cdot b^x$

Now to find $b$ we need another point. We have two more points. So we will find $b$ using one of them and verify for our resulting equation works for the other.

Let's do this.

We are given $(1,10)$ is a point on our curve.

So when $x=1$ , $y=10$ .

$10=8 \cdot b^1$

$10=8 \cdot b$

Divide both sides by 8:

$\frac{10}{8}=b$

Reduce the fraction:

$\frac{5}{4}=b$

So the equation if it works out for the other point given is:

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$

Let's try it. So the last point given that we need to satisfy is $(2,12.5)$ .

This says when $x=2$ , $y=12.5$ .

Let's replace $x$ with 2 and see what we get for $y$ :

$y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^2$

$y=8 \cdot \frac{25}{16}$

$y=\frac{8}{16} \cdot 25$

$y=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 25}$

$y=\frac{25}{2}$

$y=12.5$

So we are good. We have found an equation satisfying all 3 points given.

The equation is $y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x$ .

An arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a constant difference of 5

Vanyuwa [196]

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\ \hrulefill\\[0.5em] a_3=8\\ n=3\\ d=5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5 \\\\\\ 8=a_1+10\implies -2=a_1 \\\\\\ \begin{cases} a_1=-2\\ d=5 \end{cases}\implies a_n=-2+(n-1)d$

Given that y= 12 cm and θ= 24 °, work out x rounded to 1 DP.<br><br> (not drawn to scale.)

padilas [110]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x = 5.3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given:</u></h3>

y = 12 cm

θ = 24°

Using trigonometric ratio, tan.

$\displaystyle \boxed{tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} }\\\\tan \ 24 = \frac{x}{12} \\\\0.445 = \frac{x}{12} \\\\Multiply \ 12 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\0.445 \times 12 = x\\\\5.3 = x\\\\x = 5.3\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
