The table shows the function g(x) . Select from the drop-down menu to correctly compare the growth factors for the exponenti

al functions g(x) and f(x)=4(3)x .
x: 0, 1, 2
g(x): 3, 12, 48

Is the growth factor greater than, lesser than, or equal to the growth factor of g(x)?

Answer:

The growth factor of f(x) is less than the growth factor of g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of exponential function is

$h(x)=ab^x$

Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

The given function is

$f(x)=4(3)^x$

The initial value of f(x) is 4 and the growth factor is 3.

From the given table it is noticed that the function g(x) is passing through the points (0,3), (1,12), (2,48).

$3=ab^0$

$a=3$

$12=3(b)^1$

$b=\frac{12}{3}=4$

$g(x)=3(4)^x$

The initial value of g(x) is 3 and the growth factor is 4.

Therefore the growth factor of f(x) is less than the growth factor of g(x).

Hello there! I had the same question and my answer was less than. I am not positive that it is correct but that's my answer so please tell me if I am wrong.

Thank you and have a great day!

Find the missing angle measures in the kite

BigorU [14]

Answer:

ok so we know that a triangle is 180 degrees.

so i can take the info and figure out the f,g,d,i all equal 90 degrees so i can figure out that 90+51=141

180-141=39

so angle a is 39

the two bigger triangles are equal and the two smaller ones are equal...

so we know that

a=39

b=62

c=51

d=90

e=39

f=90

g=90

h=28

i=90

If point B is the midpoint of points A and C, find the value of x and AC. AB= 5x - 2, BC= 9x -10

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

x = 2
AC = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint divides the segment into two equal lengths:

AB = BC

5x -2 = 9x -10

8 = 4x

2 = x

AB = 5(2) -2 = 8

AC = 2AB = 2(8) = 16

You are given the polar curve r = e^θ

galina1969 [7]

The tangent to $r(\theta)=e^\theta$ has slope $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ , where

$\begin{cases}x(\theta)=r(\theta)\cos\theta\\y(\theta)=r(\theta)=\sin\theta\end{cases}$

By the chain rule, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}}$

and by the product rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm d\theta}=\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm d\theta}\cos\theta-r(\theta)\sin\theta$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm d\theta}=\dfrac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm d\theta}\sin\theta+r(\theta)\cos\theta$

so that with $\frac{\mathrm dr}{\mathrm d\theta}=e^\theta$ , we get

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{e^\theta\sin\theta+e^\theta\cos\theta}{e^\theta\cos\theta-e^\theta\sin\theta}=\dfrac{\sin\theta+\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\sin\theta}=-\dfrac{1+\sin(2\theta)}{\cos(2\theta)}$

The tangent line is horizontal when the slope is 0; this happens for

$-\dfrac{1+\sin(2\theta)}{\cos(2\theta)}=0\implies\sin(2\theta)=-1\implies2\theta=-\dfrac\pi2+2n\pi\implies\theta=-\dfrac\pi4+n\pi$

where $n$ is any integer. In the interval $0\le\theta\le2\pi$ , this happens for $n=1,2$ , or

$\theta=\dfrac{3\pi}4\text{ and }\theta=\dfrac{7\pi}4$

i.e at the points

$(r,\theta)=\left(e^{3\pi/4},\dfrac{3\pi}4\right)$

and

$(r,\theta)=\left(e^{7\pi/4},\dfrac{7\pi}4\right)$
