Answer: 9pi
Step-by-step explanation:
At some point, the exponential function always exceeds a polynomial function.
Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides
2x + 10 = -14
Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides
2x = -24
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2
x = -12
Answer:
213.52 cubic ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter of pipe = 4ft
radius for circle is half of diameter
thus radius of pipe = 1/2 of 4ft = 2 ft
length of pipe = 17 feet
volume of cylinder is given by 
where r is the radius and l is the length of cylinder
.
thus volume of pipe is calculated below using above values

volume of pipe is 213.52 cubic ft.
The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
