Awildfire is spreading at an alarming rate. the wildfire begins at a size of 8 square feet. it then doubles its width every x hours, and doubles its length every y hours. after a period of time, the wildfire covers 14,000 square feet. which equation correctly represents the area of the wildfire in terms of x and y? a. 14,000 = 16^xy b. 14,000 = 16xy c. 14,000 = 8 ⋅ 2^x+y d. 14,000 = 8 ∗ 2^xy

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wildfire begins at a size of 8 square feet

It means that initial area =8

It then doubles its width every x hours,

and doubles its length every y hours

so, we can set up equation

now, we can simplify it

we are given

After a period of time, the wildfire covers 14,000 square feet

so, we can set A(x,y)=14000

we get

1. 22

2. 1

3. 7

4. 18
