Two figures are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
This is always the case for circles, because their geometry is fixed, and you can't modify it in anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be a circle anymore.
To be more precise, you only need two steps to prove that every two circles are similar:
Now the two circles have the same center and the same radius, and thus they are the same. We just proved that any two circles can be reduced to be the same circle using only translations and scaling, which generate similar shapes.
Recapping, we have:
So, we passed from X to X' to X'', and they are all similar to each other, and in the end we have X''=Y, which ends the proof.
The expression is:
Why?
From the statement we know that the spaceship travels 3 times faster each minute that it traveled during the minute before, it can be expressed using an exponential function, its base will be the starting speed (during the first minute).
The expression will be:
Have a nice day!
This is very spread out just to show properly but you could get it smaller haha
