Each week Thomas will double the amount of money in his bank. What type of function is represented by this situation

Mathematics
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

An exponential growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each week, Thomas will double the amount of money in his bank.

Let's assume that in week 0, he has an amount A of money in his bank.

After one week, in week number 1 (w = 1), the amount of money is doubled, so if we define the function M(w) as the amount of money as a function of the number of weeks, we will have:

M(1) = 2*A

After another week, in w = 2, the amount of money is doubled again, so here we have:

M(2) = 2*(M(1)) = 2*(2*A) = A*2^2

After another week, at w = 3, the amount of money is doubled again:

M(3) = 2*(M(2)) = 2*(A*2^2) = A*2^3

We already can see the pattern here, we can expect that for the week w, the amount of money in the account is given by:

M(w) = A*2^w

This is an exponential equation (an exponential growth to be more specific), so the type of function that is represented by this situation is an exponential growth.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: 19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.  

Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side  

Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.

Replacing with the values given:  

tan40 = 16/x

Solving for x  

x =16/tan40

x= 19 ft  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

How do you find the zeros of an equation​
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, given the function, f(x), its zeros can be found by setting the function to zero. The values of x that represent the set equation are the zeroes of the function. To find the zeros of a function, find the values of x where f(x) = 0.
