Answer:

f(x) = 30 • 0.989x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

10 26.8

20 23.9

30 21.3

40 19

50 16.9

60 15.1

Using technology, the exponential model equation obtained by plotting the data is :

y = 30.068(0.989)^x

Based on the general exponential formula :

y = ab^x

y = predicted value

Initial value, a = 30.068

Rate = b = 0.989

The most appropriate model equation from the options given is :

f(x) = 30 • 0.989^x

Two trains leave towns 1250 km apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one train travels 10 km/hr slower than the o
Oksana_A [137]
Here are the rates of the trains:
(n represents train A's speed)
A: n
B: n + 10
We know it is 5 hours, and total distance, so:
5(n) + 5(n + 10) = 1250
5n + 5n + 50 = 1250
10n = 1200
Divide:
n = 120
One train goes 120, the other goes 130

PLEASE HELP. Please show all work. Im giving 80 points to whoever answers it first.

Answer:

1.1) B=12.42°, C=146.58°, c=15.37  

1.2) B=8°, C=124°, c=35.7  

2) In the case of SSA, when the given angle A is acute (<90°), the side "a" (opposite to the given angle "A") is less than the other given side "b" (a<b), and a > b sinA.  

3.1) Perimeter = 31.37 units, Area = 16.5 square units  

3.2) Perimeter = 73.70 units, Area = 75.6 square units  

4.1) Magnitude of vector AB=5.1

4.2) Direction of vector AB=348.69°  

5.1) The dot product of two vectors is equal to the sum of the product of their components

5.2) a . b = 10  

6.1) Trigonometric form: z = 3√2 (cos 315°+ i sin 315°)  

6.2) The 4th roots are:  

w1 = 18^(1/8) [cos(78.75°) + i sin(78.75°)]

w2 = 18^(1/8) [cos(168.75°) + i sin(168.75°)]

w3 = 18^(1/8) [cos(258.75°) + i sin(258.75°)]

w4 = 18^(1/8) [cos(348.75°) + i sin(348.75°)]


Step-by-step explanation:

3.1) Perimeter: P = a+b+c → P = 10+6+15.37 → P = 31.37  

Area: A = a b sinC / 2

Replacing the known values:

A = (10)(6) sin 146.58325418° / 2 → A = 60(0.55072472) / 2 →

A = 16.52174152 → A = 16.52 square units


3.2) Perimeter: P = a+b+c → P = 32+6+35.70 → P=73.70

Area: A = a b sin C /2

Replacing the known values:

A = (32)(6) sin 123.99036327° / 2 → A = 192(0.82913161) / 2 →

A = 75.59663485 → A = 75.6 square units
