The side length of the square base is 18 inches and the height of the pyramid is 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The volume of a square pyramid is calculated by multiplying the square of the base edge with the height of the pyramid and $\frac{1}{3}$ .

The volume of a square pyramid, $V = a^{2} \frac{h}{3}.$

Step 2:

From the given diagram, the base edge is the length of the four base edges which is x inches in this pyramid. a = x inches.

The height of the pyramid is from the base to the top, h = $\frac{x}{2}$ inches .

The volume of a square pyramid, $V = 972.$

Substituting the known values, we get

$972 = (x)^{2} (\frac{x}{2}) (\frac{1}{3} ) = \frac{x^{3} }{6} .$

$x^{3} = 6(972) = 5,832. x = \sqrt[3]{5,832} = 18.$

So x is 18 inches long.

The side length $= x = 18$ inches.

The height of the pyramid $= \frac{x}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9$ inches.

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{Choice 4}}$

We can look at each function, f(x) and g(x), to determine which is exponential.

Use slope formula: m = y2-y1/x2-x1

f(x) starts off with a slope at about $1800/year, but becomes about $1100/year.

g(x) starts off with a slope of about $1500/year, but becomes about $1874/year.

Thus, g(x) is exponential, because g(x)'s slope is increasing across the interval.

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.
