An amusement park opens daily at 9:30 a.m. This morning the parking lot for the amusement park opened at 8:00 a.m. At 9:00 a.m.,

there were 132 cars in the parking lot. The parking attendants noticed that every half hour between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., the number of cars in the parking lot tripled. What type of function appropriately models this situation?

Answer:

An exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's suppose that at 9:00 am there were 132 cars. We'll call this P_0

P_{0}=132

On the next half an hour, let's say at 9:30, the number of cars trippled, this is:

P_{1}=132*3=396

the next half an hour, at 10:00 am, the number of cars trippled, this is:

P_{2}=132*3*3=1188

and finaly, at 10:30am, the number of cars trippled again, so:

P_{3}=132*3*3*3=3564

We can now see a pattern there which can be simplified as:

P(n)=P_{0}(3)^{n}

or

P(n)=132(3)^{n}

where:

P_{0}=initial number of cars

n=number of half hours after 9:00 a.m

P_{n}= number of cars after n number of half hours.

That function we found there is an exponential function, which represents an initial amount being multiplied by the same number several times.

If lim x-&gt; 4 f(x)=5 lim x-&gt; 4 f g(x)=0 and lim x-&gt; 4 f h(x)=-2, then find lim (fg)(x)
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is:

"lim x-> 4 f(x)=5 lim x-> 4 g(x)=0 and lim x-> 4 h(x)=-2, then find lim x->4 (fg)(x)"

lim x->4 (fg)(x)

Since we know the limits of f and g at x=4 exist we can write the limit as:

lim x->4 f(x) lim x->4 g(x) (since fg(x) means f times g of x.)
