A train is moving at a rate of 65 miles/hour toward a railroad marker located 200 miles away. Which equation could be used to find the time it will take for the distance between the train and the railroad marker to be 4 miles apart, where h represents the time in hours? A.
|4 + 65h| = 200
B.
|65 − 4h| = 200
C.
|200 − 4h| = 65
D.
|200 − 65h| = 4

eve and marks ratios are equivalent

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
