Answer: B. X =
Step-by-step explanation:
sec(45) = hyp/12
12sec(45) = hyp
hyp = 16.9
cot(60) = x/16.9
16.9cot(60) = x
x = 9.7
B. X =
9514 1404 393
Answer:
1. a, b, c - represent growth
2. b, c, d - represent decay
Step-by-step explanation:
If increasing x results in a larger value, the function represents growth. If it results in a smaller value, the function represents decay.

To answer these questions, you can look at the base and the exponent. When we say "exponent" here, we mean <em>the coefficient of the exponent variable</em>. There are four possibilities:
growth:
- exponent positive, base > 1
- exponent negative, base < 1
decay:
- exponent positive, base < 1
- exponent negative, base > 1

<u>Growth questions</u>:
1.77^x -- growth
1.5^(x/2) -- growth
0.5^(-x) -- growth (= 2^x)
e^(-t) -- decay (e ≈ 2.718)
<u>Decay questions</u>:
1.7^x -- growth
1.7^(-2x) -- decay
(1/3)^x -- decay (= 3^(-x))
2^(-x) -- decay
where q is number of quarters and w is how many wrappers you need. You need 13 wrappers.
