<u>ANSWER</u>
B. 39,366
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The y-values of the exponential function has the following pattern
:
:
Or
To find the average rate of change from x=9 to x=10, we simply find the slope of the secant line joining (9,f(9)) and (10,f(10))
This implies that,
Therefore the average rate of change from x=9 to x=10 is 39366.
The correct answer is B.
Since this is a square pyramid, the length of all the sides going up towards the top point of the pyramid (the apex) are all 4m. The triangular faces of the square pyramid are all equilateral triangles because we are given that one of the angles is 60°.
Since we are just looking for x, we can ignore all the other sides of the square pyramid except for the front face with x and 60°. That front face is an equilateral triangle. We see x splitting the equilateral triangle into two smaller triangles. These smaller triangles are all special 30-60-90 triangles (see picture), so you can use your rules for the side lengths of the triangles to figure out the length of x.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in a 1:2:√3 ratio for the short leg to the long leg to the hypotenuse. That means the long leg is the short leg times 2 and the hypotenuse is the short leg times √3.
We know the hypotenuse is 4m and we are trying to find the long leg, x. We know that the ratio of the hypotenuse to the long leg is √3:2 and we can cross multiply and solve for x, then put x into simplest radical form:
Your final answer is
