We have the equation:

y=a\cdot b^x

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.

The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:

\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}

Then, we can write the equation as:

y=3\cdot(\frac{6}{5})^x

CAN SOMEONE JUST PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST!!
aksik [14]

Answer:

F= 3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiplying exponents causes them to add, for instance if you were to multiply x^3 * x^4 the final product would be x^7. If you were to divide exponents then they would subtract.

2) Similarly in this problem  you would determine the missing factor by dividing the product from -10x^3

3)  Using the steps above, begin dividing.

-30x^5 / -10x^3

4) -30 divided by -10 is 3 and as mentioned in step number one, you subtract exponents whenever they are divided by each other.  5-3=2

5) Due to all of the steps mentioned above, The answer is 3x^2

Umm so I'm confused<br> The question says<br> 5x - 2y = 24<br> x + 2y = 12
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=24

x+2y=12

add the two equations

(5x-2y)+(x+2y)=24+12

6x=36

x=6

Plug in x=6 into any of the two equations

5(6)-2y=24

30-2y=24

-6= -2y

y= 3

x=6

y=3

(6,3)
