Answer:

  (b)  f(x) = 12.5(1.6^x)

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential model is generally of the form ...

  f(x) = a·b^x

where 'a' is the initial value (for x=0), and 'b' is the growth factor, the multiplier when x increases by 1.

<h3>Growth factor</h3>

The ratio of the f(x) values for x=0 and x=1 is 20/12 ≈ 1.67. A number close to this will be the growth factor in the exponential function. There is only one answer choice showing a growth factor near 1.6. (Eliminates choices A, C, D.)

An exponential regression model can be produced by many graphing calculators and spreadsheets. The attachment shows a model that has the values matching choice B.

Solve and check please i need help
viktelen [127]

Answer:

e = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

15 = e/0.5

You need to find what e equals. To do that, you need e all by itself. So to get e by itself in this equation, you need to multiply by 1/2 (same thing as 0.5). 15 x 0.5 is equal to 7.5.

To check your work, 7.5/0.5 is equal to 15.

So you know it's correct.

I hope this helps you :)
