Y=5(1.5)^x I divided 16.875 by 7.5, which is 2.25 Since the multiplier was used twice, I found out the square root of 2.25, which is 1.5. So now we know that the multiplier is 5. Then I divided 7.5 by 1.5 to get the initial value, since 7.5 is the value in the first spot. 7.5 divided by 1.5 is 5. Multiplier = 1.5 Initial Value = 5 y=5(1.5)^x
This situation is a right triangle with the base measuring 18 and the hypotenuse 22. We are looking for x, the height up the pole that the wire is going to be attached to. We will use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing length. and . x^2 = 160 so x = or 12.65 feet
