D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222  miles

Write an exponential equation in the form y = ab^x whose graph passes through points (4, 8) and (6, 32).
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

(1,4),(2,12)

----------

The form is y = ab^x

12 = ab^2

4 = ab^1

------------

Divide the 1st by the 2nd to get:

3 = b

--------

Substitute that into the 2nd equation to solve for "a":

4 = a*3^1

a=(4/3)

-------------

EQUATION:

y = (4/3)*2^x
