Timothy makes reduced copies of a photograph that has an actual length of 8 in. Each time he presses the reduce button on the copier, the copy is reduced by 12%. What formula shows the pattern for the size of each copy of the photograph as it is reduced? What is the length of the photograph’s copy if Timothy presses the reduce button 5 times? Round to the nearest tenth.

The length of the photograph's copy when the button is pressed the 5th times is 4.2 inches

The question is an illustration of an exponential function.

An exponential function is represented as:

Where:

So, the function becomes

Express 12% as decimal

This gives

When the button is pressed the 5th times, we have:

Hence, the length of the photograph's copy is 4.2 inches

length of the photograph will be 4.2 in. after pressing the button 5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

By pressing the button, every time size of the photograph gets reduced by 12%.

Therefore, the sequence formed by the reduced sizes of the photo will be a geometric sequence and the formula for the size of the reduced image will be,

L =

Where l = Actual length of the photograph

L = length of the reduced image

n = Number of times the button has been pressed

For l = 8 in. and n = 5

L =

  =

  = 4.22 in

L ≈ 4.2 in.

Therefore, length of the photograph will be 4.2 in. after pressing the button 5 times.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
