Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal of course is to solve for x. Right now there are 2 of them, one on each side of the equals sign, and they are both in exponential positions. We have to get them out of that position. The way we do that is by taking the natural log of both sides. The power rule then says we can move the exponents down in front.
becomes, after following the power rule:
x ln(2) = (x + 1) ln(3). We will distribute on the right side to get
x ln(2) = x ln(3) + 1 ln(3). The goal is to solve for x, so we will get both of them on the same side:
x ln(2) - x ln(3) = ln(3). We can now factor out the common x on the left to get:
x(ln2 - ln3) = ln3. The rule that "undoes" that division is the quotient rule backwards. Before that was a subtraction problem it was a division, so we put it back that way and get:
. We can factor out the ln from the left to simplify a bit:
. Divide both sides by ln(2/3) to get the x all alone:
On your calculator, you will find that this is approximately -2.709
Answer:
<em>The average rate of descent over the last 3 hours is 1000 ft/h. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of Change</u>
It's usually referred to as to the variation that one magnitude has in reference to another. The reference magnitude can be time t. The rate of change is calculated as the slope of the curve that represents the function.
The image shows the variation of Mike's height above sea level in feet with time in hours. We need to calculate the rate of change in the last three hours (from 7 to 10).
The rate of change can be calculated with the slope of the line, which formula is:
Let's pick two points (7,4000) (10,1000):
Note the rate of change is negative, which means the height is decreasing.
The average rate of descent over the last 3 hours is 1000 ft/h.
