According to legend, in 1589 the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei dropped two rocks of different weights from the top of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa. He wanted to show that the rocks would hit the ground at the same time.
Given that the tower's height is about 177 feet, how long would it have taken for
the rocks to hit the ground?

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 31.27mph

.

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
