Answer:

Electric car = Exponential function (decreasing cost)

Gasoline car = Exponential function (increasing cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data the Electric car, we have;

Time (years)   {}     Cost (thousands of dollars)

0                           {}      35

5                           {}      27

10                           {}     21

15                           {}     16

20                           {}    12.5

The difference between successive term is such that each term decreases by approximately the same percentage given as follows

1st and 2nd term (35 - 27)/35 × 100 ≈ 22.8571% decrease

2nd and 3rd term (27 - 21)/27 × 100 ≈ 22.222% decrease

3rd and 4th term (21 - 16)/21 × 100 ≈ 23.81% decrease

4th and 5th term (16 - 12.5)/16 × 100 ≈ 21.875% decrease

Therefore. the electric car is best approximated by exponential function

The given data the Gasoline car, we have;

Time (years)   {}     Cost (thousands of dollars)

0                           {}      35

5                           {}      40.2

10                           {}    46.3

15                           {}    53.2

20                           {}    61.2

The difference between successive term is such that each term increases by approximately the same percentage given as follows

1st and 2nd term (40.2 - 35)/35 × 100 ≈ 14.857% decrease

2nd and 3rd term (46.3 - 40.2)/40.2 × 100 ≈ 15.174% decrease

3rd and 4th term (53.2 - 46.3)/46.3× 100 ≈ 14.9% decrease

4th and 5th term (61.2 - 53.2)/53.2× 100 ≈ 15.03% decrease

Therefore. the Gasoline car is best approximated by exponential function

Answer:

D) cot(C) = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can go through each choice and examine is validity.

Choice A)

We have:

\displaystyle \sec B=\frac{3}{7}

Recall that secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent.

With respect to B, the adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 7.

Therefore, sec(B) should be 7/6 instead.

A is incorrect.

Choice B)

We have:

\displaystyle \cot B=\frac{3}{2}

Cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.

With respect to B, the adjacent side is 6 and the opposite side is 3.

Therefore, cot(B) = 6/3 = 2.

B is incorrect.

Choice C)

C is incorrect for the reasons listed in A.

Choice D)

We have:

\displaystyle \cot C=\frac{1}{2}

Again, cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.

With respect to C, the adjacent side is 3 and the opposite side is 6.

So, cot(C) = 3/6 = 1/2.

Therefore, D is the correct choice!

If M <span>is the midpoint of AB then AB = 2AM

8x - 6 = 2(3x + 3)
8x - 6 = 6x + 6
8x - 6x = 6 + 6
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6

AM = 3x + 3 = 3*6 + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21 units
