A tortoise and hare decide to race 40 feet! The hare, being so generous and kind, gives the tortoise a head start of 28 feet. The tortoise "runs" at a speed of 0.5 feet/sec, and the hare runs at 4.5 feet/sec. How long will it be until the hare catches the tortoise?

I’m not sure if this is right but the answer could be 3 minutes or 2 minutes

This answer would be 3 minutes hope this helped :)

F(x) =2.96.(1.04)ˣ, where x is the number of monthsprice at the origin, when x = 0→ f(x) = 2.96(1.04)⁰  →f(x) = 2.96(remember any number with exponent 0 gives 1).price after 1 month (x=1)  → f(x) =2.96.(1.04)¹ = 3.0784increase of cost = (3.0784-.96)/2.96 = 0.04 or 4% increase.however you could have noticed it from the formula: f(x) =2.96.(1.04)ˣ = 2.96(1+0.04)ˣ (and the 0.04 or 4% is the increase over 1.sorry for the 2nd part, i am confused with your "table" . i have to see a proper table in order to you
