When Zakir threw a beach ball to his friend, its horizontal velocity changed as it traveled through the air. The relationship between the elapsed time, t, in seconds, since Zakir threw the ball, and its horizontal velocity, V(t), in cm/s is modeled by the following function: V(t) = 4 x(5/8)^t Complete the following sentence about the rate of change of the horizontal velocity of the ball. Every second, the horizontal velocity of the ball grows/shrinks v by a factor of Report a problem Stuck? Watch a video or use a hint.

5/8 shrinks

Step-by-step explanation:

Shrinks down 5/8

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
