The first (and most typical) way to find distance of two points is by using the distance formula.
One alternative is the Manhattan metric, also called the taxicab metric. This option is much more complicated, and rarely used in high school math. d(x,y)=∑i|xi-yi|
1.30 represents the rate of growth of the mold spores. This decimal is a representation of the percentage growth, which would be 130%.
Since the function is written in terms of weeks, x will equal 4 to represent the amount of spores after 4 weeks. Plug the value into the function:
Rounded to the nearest ones value, there will be 985 mold spores after 4 weeks.
<u>Complete question:</u>
Refer the attached diagram
<u>Answer:</u>
In reference to the attached figure, (-∞, 2) is the value where (f-g) (x) negative.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
From the attached figure, it shows that given data:
f (x) = x – 3
g (x) = - 0.5 x
To Find: At what interval the value of (f-g) (x) negative
So, first we need to calculate the (f-g) (x)
(f – g ) (x) = f (x) – g (x) = x-3 - (- 0.5 x)
⇒ (f - g) (x) =1.5 x - 3
Now we are supposed to find the interval for which (f-g) (x) is negative.
⇒ (f - g) (x) = x - 3+ 0.5 x = 1.5 x – 3 < 0
⇒ 1.5 x – 3 < 0
⇒ 1.5 x < 3
⇒
⇒ x < 2
Thus for (f - g) (x) negative x must be less than 2. Thereby, the interval is (-∞, 2). Function is negative when graph line lies below the x - axis.
