Answer:
a) see the plots below
b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)
c) the function values are never equal
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a graph of the two function values is attached
__
b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).
__
c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.
In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.

Answer:
- Keiko: 17
- Chang: 24
- Abdul: 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...
c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109
6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35
c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
c-7 = 17
4(c-7) = 68
Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.
Answer:
150 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
375 divided by 7.5 is 50
50 time 3 is 150
Answer:
If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.
We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.
The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.
16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.
