Adoctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually. the patient currently has a bone density of 1,500 kg/mg3. the doctor writes an exponential function to represent the situation. which values should the doctor use for a and b in a function written in the form f(x) = abx, where f(x) represents the bone density after x years?

a =

b =

answer; equivalent to a one(1) horsepower motor;

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
