4. A typical smartphone battery (yes that includes iphones) degrades at approximately 1%
1 answer:
Answer:
a.
b. The x - intercept represents the time at which the battery life drops to 0 %.
c. The y - intercept represents the initial battery life.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Construct an equation using f(t) and t that represents the relationship between
"f(t)" the battery capacity of a typical smartphone after "t" months and "L" the
number of months the smartphone has been in normal use.
Let the initial battery life be I.
After one month, it decreases by 1%. So, our new value, I' = initial value - decrease = I - 1%I = 99%I.
After two months, it decreases by 1% to our new value I". So, our new value, I" = initial value - decrease = I' - 1%I' = 99%I' = 99%(99%)I = (99%)²I
After three months, it decreases by 1% to our new value I'". So, our new value, I"' = initial value - decrease = I" - 1%I" = 99%I" = 99%(99%)²I = (99%)³I
We see a pattern here.
After t months, f(t)
b. What does the horizontal intercept represent in context? (The x-intercept)
The x - intercept represents the time at which the battery life drops to 0 %.
c. What does the vertical intercept represent in context? (The y-intercept)
The y - intercept represents the initial battery life.

check the picture below.
notice, a function that is decreasing, namely have a negative slope, doesn't have to be negative.
In this question, it is given that An inverse trigonometric function is used to find the value of an unknown obtuse angle in a triangle. The inverse function returns the angle 68°.
Since the angle is obtuse angle, it means the measurement of the angle is greater then 90 degree. And to find the angle measurement, we have to subtract the given angle from 180 degree.
So the unknown angle is
And that's the required answer .
