Carlos has a nail in his car tire. The tire is not flat, but he's on his way to get it fixed. He's driving at a constant speed, and the diameter of the tire is 3 feet. Which rule could model the height of the nail from the ground?

a) f(x)=1.5cos(16πx)+1.5
b) f(x)=1.5cos(16πx)−1.5
c) f(x)=3cos(16πx)+3
d) f(x)=16πcos(1.5x)+3

An is a number that is written without a component. it is a number that is either or . an exponent is a or a number that another number is being to. the number that is being raised to a is called the . the or power tells you how many times to the base by . if an exponent is fractional then ask yourself the question: what when multiplied by itself a certain number of times will equal the number?
