Answer:
E) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is no ordinary problem. It actually requires you to solve two different problems in order to figure out the correct answer.
First, we must figure out what the hypotenuse of the triangle is. We have the two small sides (5 and 12), but don't have the larger side. To find this, we must use the Pythagorean theorem:
Let's plug in our a and b values
Simplify
Square both sides
But sadly, we aren't done yet. Now we know the length of the whole hypotenuse side. Time to figure out what X is by a simple equation.
Simplify
Divide by 26
Answer is 1/2
Answer:
The function is y = 40 * 2^(x/2)
The graph is in the image attached
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that models this growth is an exponencial function, that can be described with the following equation:
y = a * b^(x/n)
Where a is the inicial value, b is the rate of growth, x is the time and n is the relation between the time and the rate (the rate occurs for every two hours, so n = 2).
Then, using a = 40, r = 2 and n = 2, we have:
y = 40 * 2^(x/2)
If we plot this function, we have the graph shown in the image attached,
It is an exponencial graph, where the value of y increases very fast in relation to the increase of x.
