Answer:

Katie is 6 years old and Thomas is 3 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we should let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas.

If Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas then,

K = 2T

and in  6 years, Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age then

K + 6 = 4T

Solving both equations simultaneously by substituting the value of K given in the first equation into the second

2T + 6 = 4T

Collect like terms

6 = 4T - 2T

6 = 2T

Divide both sides by 2

T = 3

Recall that K = 2T

K = 2 * 3

= 6

Hence Katie is 6 years old while Thomas is 3 years old

So, the first blank is for what kind of angle it is: acute, obtuse, reflex, straight, or right. The second blank is for what the measure of the angle is. You can find that out by looking at the protractor. It should tell you what the measure of the angle is. You can read the protractor by looking at the numbers. The numbers are the degrees of incline the angle measures, which is what you're looking for.

Which exponential model best represents the data? O f(x) = 3(1.2) O f(x) = 2(0.3)* O f(x) = 2(3)* O f(x) = 3(0.2)*​
aleksley [76]

The exponential model has an initial value of 3

The exponential model of the data is f(x) = 3 * (1.2)^x

<h3>How to determine  the exponential model?</h3>

From the complete question,we have the following parameters:

  • Initial value, a = 3
  • Growth rate, r = 0.2

The exponential model is then calculated as:

f(x) = a * (1 + r)^x

Substitute known values

f(x) = 3 * (1 + 0.2)^x

Evaluate the sum

f(x) = 3 * (1.2)^x

Hence, the exponential model of the data is f(x) = 3 * (1.2)^x
