Determining Components of an Exponential Function A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate

of 3% annually. The patient currently has a bone density of 1,500 kg/mg3. The doctor writes an exponential function to represent the situation. Which values should the doctor use for a and b in a function written in the form f(x) = abt, where f(x) represents the bone density after x years? 0 = b= Done Intro

Answer:

f(x) = 1500(0.97)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

f(x) = abˣ

a is the initial bone density, that is the bone density at 0 years, x is the number of years and b is any real value. For an exponential growth, b > 1 while for an exponential decay, b < 1.

Since the bone has a current density of 1,500 kg/m³, hence a = 1500.

The density is lost at a rate of 3% annually, therefore b = 100% - 3% = 97% = 0.97.

Therefore substituting the values of a and b into the function gives:

f(x) = 1500(0.97)ˣ

What is this expression in simplified form 5/2 times 9/6? A.90 B.90/3 C.45/2 D. 45/3
alekssr [168]

5√2 · 9√6

Simplify.

5 × 9 √ 2 x 6 ⇒ Multiply 2 × 6.

5 × 9 √12

Simplify √12 to 2√3.

5 × 9 × 2√3 ⇔ Multiply

90√3

Therefore, the <u>correct alternative</u> is <u>option "B".</u>

Help me plz I don't understand math today?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

C-42

B-156

A-66

Step-by-step explanation:

Now I'm not a 100% sure on this but I'm pretty confident.

The easiest on to find was C because on the opposite side was 24 so the side we are working with must equal 24. In order to find the answer I did 24 + 18 and got 42. That means C = 42.

The next one I found was B. A straight line is 180 degrees so I subtracted 24 from 180 and got 156.

Finally I found A. This was considerably the quickest on to find for me because of all the other measurements I found and the 90 degrees beside the A. I subtracted 90 from the already found 156. I got 156 because if you take out the 90 degree line it would be a mirror image of B. Once I subtracted 90 from 156 I got 66 as my answer.
