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/mgº. 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, where f(x) represents the bone density
after x years?
Q
=

option: d is correct

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
