Given that the number of years should be represented with x, the number of fish in the pond after x years should best be represented with f(x). The equation that would best show the given scenario in the problem above is,
f(x) = 500(2^x)
From the given, 500 is used as the initial population of the fish.
Let Brian's steps have a measure of 1, and Richard's steps have a measure of k. Then after each walks 5 steps away from the other, their distance apart is
... 5 + 5k
We are told that distance is equal to 9 of Richard's steps, so is equal to 9k.
... 5 + 5k = 9k
... 5 = 4k . . . . . . . subtract 5k
... 5/4 = k . . . . . . divide by 4
Richard's steps are 5/4 the size of Brian's steps. The appropriate selection is
... b) 5/4
Area od pizza, A = Pi*Diameter^2/4
A1 = Pi*8^2/4 = 50.27 in^2
A2 = Pi*10^2/4 = 78.54 in^2
A3 = Pi*12^2/4 = 113.10 in^2
Cost (C) per sq. in;
C1 = 50.27/9 = $5.59
C2 = 78.54/12 = $6.55
C3 = 113.10/18 = $6.28
The best buy is the first pizza with 8 in diameter as it costs the least per sq. inch.
Given:
M is the midpoint of AB.
M(2,0) and A(-3, 3).
To find:
The coordinates of point B.
Solution:
Midpoint formula:

Let the coordinates of point B are (a,b). Then, using the midpoint formula, we get

On comparing both sides, we get




And,




Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (7,-3).
Metallic ribbon: 16$ for 4ft
Dividing both sides by four, we get:
1 feet -- 4 dollars
White ribbon 3$ for 1 feet
1 feet -- 3 dollars
<h2><u><em>
Therefore, the Metallic ribbon costs more per feet.</em></u></h2>
