How to find an exponential function with two points?

Mathematics

Well u have a basic equation y=a • b^x
a is the initial amount
b is the growth factor
and x is the exponent

the first step is to make a chart with ur two points for example
(0,4) and (2,16)
so ur chart will be
x. | y.
0. | 4
2. | 16
next you find the difference between the x side so 0 to 2 is +2
then find the difference between the y side so 4 to 16 is +12
then put it into a fraction with y over x or y/x so 12/2 then simplified 6/1 or just 6.

6 is the growth factor
and to find a u have to go on the y column and find the first number so
a is 4
x is still x because it's 0 but if it was 2 then it would be x-2 so it can cancel
so the answer would be y=4 • 6^x

Write the equation of a linear function for which f=(-4)=0 and f=(0)=-2
densk [106]

Answer:

y = -0.5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: f(x) = mx + b

f(-4) : -4m + b = 0  ...(1)

f(0):   0m + b = -2            b = -2   ... plug in (1)

-4m - 2 = 0

m = - 1/2 = - 0.5

linear equation: y = -0.5x - 2

 If a 10-pound sack of potatoes costs $6.55, how much would 1 pound cost? Round your answer to the nearest cent. 
Black_prince [1.1K]
\begin{array}{ccc}10\ lb&-&\$6.55\\\\1\ lb&-&\$ x\end{array}\ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\\\\\10\cdot x=1\cdot6.55\\\\10x=6.55\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 10\\\\x=\frac{6.55}{10}\\\\x=0.65\underline{5}\approx\boxed{\$0.66}\\

If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up (+1).
