On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and increases into quadrant 1. It crosses the y-axis at (0, 3). What is the value of a for the exponential function in the graph represented in the form of f(x) = a(bx)? −4 −3 3 4

answer: what

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
