4c+3=15
You need to get rid of the 3
So you minus it from each side so you
4c=12
12/4=3
So c =3
When an exponential function is given as
f(x)=ab^x, and
knowing that b^0=1, that means that
f(0)=ab^0=a value of function when x=0, or the initial value.
In the case of
f(x)=20.b^x, f(0)=20.b^0 = 20 (initial value)
If b=1.2, then the hourly growth rate is (1.2-1)=0.2=20%.
If b=1.85, then the hourly growth rate is (1.85-1)=0.85=85%.
To find a percentage, you the decimal point in the percent two places to the right 16% = 0.16. Then multiply.
0.16 • 400 = 64
16% of 400 = 64
135 miles / 3 hours = 45 mph
The second table. A linear function is a function where adding the same amount to x should add the same amount to y.
In table 2, you can see that adding 1 to x adds 2 to y. All the other tables describe non-linear functions.
