Complete Question

A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually. The patient currently has a bone density of 1,500 kg/mg³. The doctor writes an exponential function to represent the situation. Which values should the doctor use for a and b in a function written in the form f(x) = ab^x, where f(x) represents the bone density after x years?

a = 1500

b = 0.97

f(x) = ab^x

f(x) = 1500(0.97)^x

f(x) = 1500 × 0.97^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find a and b

This question has to do with exponential decay.

This is written as

y = a(1 - r)^x

f(x) = ab^x

r = rate of exponential decay

f(x) = y

a = a

b^x = (1 - r)^x

a = current bone density of the patient = 1500kg/m³

b = (1 - r)

r = 3% = 0.03

b = (1 - 0.03)

b = 0.97

Therefore,

a = 1500

b = 0.97

Hence:

f(x) = ab^x

f(x) = 1500(0.97)^x

f(x) = 1500 × 0.97^x

78.59 is the mean

step-by-step explanation:

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
