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.

Answer:

62.4 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

8^2-4^2=48

The square root of 48 is 6.928

7*2.928=48.497

(6.928*4)/2=13.856

48.497+13.856= 62.353 or 62.4
