12) A billboard painter is using a pulley system to hoist a can of paint up to a scaffold at a rate of half a meter per second. The height of the can of paint as a function of time is given by h(t) = 0.5t.
Five seconds after he starts raising the can of paint, his partner accidentally kicks a paint brush off
of the scaffolding, which falls to the ground. The height of the falling paint brush can be
represented by h(t) = -4.90t - 5)2 + 30. When does the brush pass the paint can?

lockers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 40, and 49 are open

i ran through it by the other answer is wrong

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.
