Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you have to do is look at the mother curve. That curve is y = 1/x
It becomes undefined at x = 0 (I will show both curves below).
That is not what has been given. The graph you have been given becomes undefined at x = - 1 , so the equation of the curve (so far) y = 1/(x + 1)
Now we have to worry about the y intercept. When x = 0, y = 4. That can be accomplished in two ways
A. y = 4/(x + 1) or
B. y = 2/(x + 1) + 2 or
C. y = 1/(x + 1) + 3
All three of these will give a value of y = 4 when x = 0. But you have 1 problem left. What happens as x goes to say 5.
The value of A will give y = 4/(5 + 1)=4/6 = 2/3. Which does not work.
The value of C will give y = 1/(5 + 1) + 3 which gives 3 1/5 which also does not work.
Only B works. y = 2/(5+1) + 2 = 2/6 + 2 = 2 1/3 which is a little above the horizontal asymptote.
Red: y = 1/x
Blue: y = 2/(x + 1) + 2
The value at the end is never going to change. y will always be just a bit

This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>
Alright, lets get started.
We are asked, approximately how many meters are equal to 11.4 feet.
We have given that,
3.3 feet = 1 meter
So, 1 feet = 
meter
So, 11.4 feet = 
meter
11.4 feet = 
meter
11.4 feet = 3.45 meters : Answer
Hope it will help :)
A. expanded, you get XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX over XxXxXxXxX
b.XxXxX or X³
c. I would just cancel out the 5 Xs on the top line against the 5 Xs on the bottom, leaving X³.
