Mary noticed 5 ants in her pantry on Monday. On Tuesday she counted 15 ants in the pantry. On Wednesday she counted 45 ants in the pantry. Day Ants Monday 0 5 Tuesday 1 15 Wednesday 2 45 Part A Determine an exponential function model (y=abx) to represent the number of ants in the pantry in terms of the number of elapsed days. Explain how you arrived at your model. Part B Does the problem situation represent exponential growth or decay? Justify your reasoning

option a, c,d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

from the given figure, it is given that z is equidistant from the sides of the triangle rst, then from triangle tzb and triangle szb, we have

tz=sz(given)

bz=zb(common)

therefore, by rhs rule,δtzb ≅δszb

by cpctc, sz≅tz

also, from δctz and δasz,

tz=sz(given)

∠tcz=∠saz(90°)

by rhs rule, δctz ≅ δasz, therefore by cpctc, ∠ctz≅∠asz

also,from δasz and δzsb,

zs=sz(common)

∠zbs=∠saz=90°

by rhs rule, δasz ≅δzsb, therefore, by cpctc, ∠asz≅∠zsb

hence, option a, c,d are correct.

answer: check all that apply, where the options?
