The length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

<h3>How to find the original length of the rope using ratio?</h3>

He cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2.

The shorter piece is 70 cm long.

The length of the original rope can be calculated as follows:

The ratio of the length of the rope is as follows;

5 : 2

let

x = length of the original rope

Therefore,

length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70

length of shorter piece = 140 / 7

length of shorter piece = 20 cm

Therefore, the length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

Which exponential function is represented by the values in the table?

svlad2 [7]

Here we use the equation

$y = a(b)^x$

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)

Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

$4 = a(b)^0
\\
4 = a(1) \\
a =4$

Substituting (1,2) we will get

$2 = 4 (b)^1
\\
2/4 = b
\\
b = 1/2$

So we have

$a = 4, b = 1/2$

Therefore , required equation is

$y = 4(1/2)^x$
