Since we know that Lane is travelling at 180 steps per minute and that each step is 3.25 feet long, we can easily find his running speed in feet/min. This will be equal to

\frac{180}{min}* 3.25 ft=585 \frac{ft}{min}

To find the speed in miles per hour, we just perform a <em />dimensional analysis. We can use the conversion factors 5280 ft = 1 mile and 60 min = 1 hr to calculate for the speed in miles per hour:

\frac{585ft}{min} = \frac{1mile}{5280ft} = \frac{60min}{1hr} =6.65 \frac{miles}{hr}

Answer:  6.65 miles per hour (Approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, he takes about 180 steps per minute.

And, each step is 3.25 feet long.

Therefore, length of 180 feet = 180×3.25 = 585 feet.

Thus, he takes 1 min to cover 585 feet.

⇒ The length he covers in 1 hour = 585 × 60 = 35100 feet.

Since, 1 miles = 5280 feet ⇒ 1 feet = 1/5280 miles.

Therefore, The length he covers in 1 hour= 35100 × 1/5280= 6.64772727273

But, Speed = miles he covers/ time taken by him

= 6.64772727273/1 = 6.64772727273 miles per hour ≈ 6.65 miles per hour

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

y = 2(3)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the exponential function in the form

y = ab^{x}

Use ordered pairs from the table to find a and b

Using (0, 2 ), then

2 = ab^{0} ( b^{0} = 1 ) , thus

a = 2, so

y = 2b^{x}

Using (1, 6 ) , then

6 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )

b = 3

Thus the exponential function is

y = 2(3)^{x}
