Answer:
<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).
First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.
Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.
The y intercept of this function is always (0, a).
This is because when we place 0 in for x (which is the only way it'll be on the y-axis, we get 'a' as a result. This is because of the rule that raising anything to the 0th power will result in the number 1 and multiplying anything by 1 gives us the same number. See the work below for the example.
F(x) = a*b^x
F(0) = a*b^0
F(0) = a*1
F(0) = a
And for an example with a random number, we'll use a = 5 and b = 3
F(x) = 5*3^x
F(0) = 5*3^0
F(0) = 5*1
F(0) = 5
No matter what a and b equal, the intercept will be the a value.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
the blank is 162
since 81 and 81 are both perfect squares the middle term (blank) will be the product of their roots times 2
√81=9
√81 =9
9 x 9 x 2
= 162
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
When we say "a divided by b", we mean a/b. In this case, "5 divided by 485" is a 1-digit number divided by a 3-digit number. The result is the fraction 1/97 or a repeating decimal with a long repeat.
If you want to divide the 3-digit number 485 by the 1 digit number 5, then you need to formulate the problem as "485 divided by 5". The result is 97.
