This is a perfect example of exponential decay. In this case the growth factor should be represented by a fraction, and it is! This forest, starting out with apparently ( 800? ) pine trees, has a disease spreading, which kills 1 / 4th of each of the pine trees yearly. Therefore, the pine trees remaining should be 3 / 4.
Respectively 3 / 4 should be the growth factor, starting with 800 pine trees - the start value. This can be represented as such,
- where a = start value, b = growth factor, t = time ( <em>variable quantity</em> )
____
Thus, the function
can model this problem. The forest after t years should have P( t ) number of pine trees remaining.
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the x-coordinates of the two given points are identical. This tells us immediately that the line is a vertical one whose slope is undefined.
The equation of this line is x = 1.
Step 1: All angles in a triangle must add up to 180! Therefore, in the upper triangle, add up the two you know 85+35=120 so the missing angle is 60.
Step 2: Bottom triangle. Your new angle above (60) is the pair of the opposite angle - so it too is 60. So now you know 2 of the 3 angles: 60+64=124 Subtract that from 180 and you get 56...which is the answer for ?
Ufff lap his tech the task ter he’d just ice up
