12. A rectangular piece of insulation is to be wrapped around a pipe that is 4.25 inches in diameter. How wide does the rectangular piece of insulation need to be? (give an answer to the nearest hundredth)

(-1,0) and (4,0) are x-intercepts.

step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are all points on the x-axis.

points (-1,0) and (4,0) are both x -intercepts.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
