Find function gives the amount of carbon-14 remaining as a function of time, measured in years.arrow_forwardIf you travel 100 miles in two hours, then your average speed for the trip is Average speed=_________=________arrow_forwardIf xis large, which function grows faster, f(x)=2x or g(x)=x2?arrow_forward
- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardUse your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forward
