Two ships leave port at the same time. One sails south at 12 mi/h, and the other sails east at 16 mi/h. Find a function that models the distance D between the ships in terms of the time t (in hours) elapsed since their departure.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
