Answer:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Explanation:
An exponential function is in the general form
y
=
a
(
b
)
x
We know the points
(
−
1
,
8
)
and
(
1
,
2
)
, so the following are true:
8
=
a
(
b
−
1
)
=
a
b
2
=
a
(
b
1
)
=
a
b
Multiply both sides of the first equation by
b
to find that
8
b
=
a
Plug this into the second equation and solve for
b
:
2
=
(
8
b
)
b
2
=
8
b

b
2
=

b
=
±
1
2
Two equations seem to be possible here. Plug both values of
b
into the either equation to find
a
. I'll use the second equation for simpler algebra.
If
b
=
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
1
2
)
a
=
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
If
b
=
−
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
−
1
2
)
a
=
−
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
−
4
(
−
1
2
)
x
However! In an exponential function,
b
>
0
, otherwise many issues arise when trying to graph the function.
The only valid function is
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
distance = rate * time
2.56 meters = 2meter/min * t
divide by 2 on each side
2.56/2 =t
1.28 minutes =t
Let 
. The tangent plane to the surface at (0, 0, 8) is
The gradient is
so the tangent plane's equation is
The normal vector to the plane at (0, 0, 8) is the same as the gradient of the surface at this point, (1, 1, 1). We can get all points along the line containing this vector by scaling the vector by 
, then ensure it passes through (0, 0, 8) by translating the line so that it does. Then the line has parametric equation
or 
, 
, and 
.
(See the attached plot; the given surface is orange, (0, 0, 8) is the black point, the tangent plane is blue, and the red line is the normal at this point)
option D none of the above
Answer:
88°
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is an isosceles triangle, so two of the angles are both 46°. We also know that the sum of all the angles in any triangle is 180°, so we can set up the following equation:
46° + 46° + e = 180°
Solving this gets e = 88°.
