Started at first floor
went up 18 floors, so now we are at 1+18 or 19th floor
then cam down 11 floors, so now we are at 19-11 or 8th floor
then went up 16, so now at 16+8 or 24th floor
it stopped at 24th floor
Exponential functions are related to logarithmic functions in that they are inverse functions. Exponential functions move quickly up towards a [y] infinity, bounded by a vertical asymptote (aka limit), whereas logarithmic functions start quick but then taper out towards an [x] infinity, bounded by a horizontal asymptote (aka limit).
If we use the natural logarithm (ln) as an example, the constant "e" is the base of ln, such that:
ln(x) = y, which is really stating that the base (assumed "e" even though not shown), that:
if we try to solve for y in this form it's nearly impossible, that's why we stick with ln(x) = y
but to find the inverse of the form:
switch the x and y, then solve for y:
So the exponential function is the inverse of the logarithmic one, f(x) = ln x
Answer:
Explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem (
a
2
+
b
2
=
c
2
)
Lets label the right triangle such that:
a
=
12
b
=
16
c
=
x
Thus,
12
2
+
16
2
=
x

144
+
256
=
x

400
=
x
2
√
400
=
x
20
=
x
So our missing side,
c
is
20
We can now say that the sides of our triangle are
12
,
16
,
20
I've included a link that lists a couple of Pythagorean triples (a couple because they are infinitely many).
