Answer:

In the figure attached, the graph of the function is shown.

1. f(9) ≈ 6 means that at t = 9 (year 1977 + 9 = 1986) the cost to produce 1 watt of solar energy was $6

2. f(4) ≈ 25, which means at year 1981 (=1977 + 4) the cost was $25 per watt  

f(3.5) ≈ 28, which means at half of year 1980 (=1977 + 3.5) the cost was $28 per watt  

3. When f(t) = 45, t is equal to 2, which means that the year wass 1979 (= 1977 + 2)

4. From the graph we can compute the following table:

x  |  y

0  |  80

1   |  60

The general exponential decay formula is:

f(x) = a*b^x

where <em>a</em> is the initial value and <em>b</em> si the decay factor. Replacing with data from the table:

f(0) = a*b^0

80  = a

f(1) = a*b^1

60/80 = b

0.75 = b

Answer:

When we have something like:

\sqrt[n]{x}

It is called the n-th root of x.

Where x is called the radicand, and n is called the index.

Then the term:

\sqrt[4]{16}

is called the fourth root of 16.

And in this case, we can see that the index is 4, and the radicand is 16.

At the end, we have the question: what is the 4th root of 16?

this is:

\sqrt[4]{16} = \sqrt[4]{4*4}  = \sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2} = 2

The 4th root of 16 is equal to 2.
