If you find a first you will be able to find b a little faster then it is super easy after that you got this!
Answer:
a. 54.75
b. 2.64
Step-by-step explanation:
The volumetric mean radius of Mars is about 3389.5 km. We know that it's 13.7% of Neptune's mean radius, so we can write it down as:
3389.5 = 13.7% of x (where x is Neptune's radius)
3389.5 = 13.7% x
3389.5 = 137/1000x / * 1000 (both sides)
3389500 = 137x / ÷ 137 (both sides)
x = 24740.87591240876
x ≈ 24740.88
Answer: The mean radius of Neptune is about 24740.88 km.
To answer this item, note that what needs to be done is to substitute -4 to all x's in the equation. That is,
F(x) = 2^x
will become,
F(-4) = 2^(-4) = 1/16 or 0.0625
