The weight of an object, w, varies inversely as the square of its distance from the center of Earth, d. When an astronaut stands in a training center on the surface of Earth (3,960 miles from the center), she weighs 155 pounds. To the nearest tenth of a pound, what will be the approximate weight of the astronaut when she is standing on a space station, in orbit 240 miles above the training center? A. 174.4 pounds B. 164.4 pounds C. 146.1 pounds D. 137.8 pounds

step-by-step explanation:

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²

answer:

at time x=0 we have 1000, at time x=1 we have 2000, at time x=2 we have 4000.  

so that's an initial value of 1000 and a ratio of 2,

y = 1000 (2^x)

hope this !
