Write an exponential equation in the form y = abx whose graph passes through points (2, 18) and (5, 60.75).

1 answer:

4 0

Y = a * b^x
18 = a * b²
60.75 = a * b^5
60.75 = a * b² * b³
60.75 = 18 b³
b³ = 60.75 : 18
b³ = 3.375
b = ∛ 3.375
b = 1.5
18 = a * 1.5²
18 = a * 2.25
a = 18 : 2.25
a = 8
Answer:
y = 8 * 1.5^x

Rewrite the expression as a single power with a negative exponent

$~\hspace{7em}\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} ~\hspace{4.5em} a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} ~\hspace{4.5em} \cfrac{a^n}{a^m}\implies a^na^{-m}\implies a^{n-m} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \left(\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^2\implies \left[ \left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^4 \right]^2\implies \left( \cfrac{1^4}{3^4} \right)^2 \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{1^{4\cdot 2}}{3^{4\cdot 2}} \right) \implies \cfrac{1}{3^8} \implies 3^{-8}$

let's recall that

$\begin{array}{llll} 1^1&=&1\\ 1^{10}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000,000,000}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000,000,000,000}&=&1\\ \end{array}$

Line segment BC will be reflected over line m to form line segment BC. Which of the following statements must be true?

Len [333]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

To reflect line segment BC over line m, BB' will be perpendicular to the line m

and line m bisector of BB'.

So, the correct answer is option A

A) Line m is the perpendicular bisector of line segment BB' and the line segment CC'

Option b is wrong , it is impossible for the line B'C' to be perpendicular to line BC. B'C' is the image of BC.

Both option c and d is wrong because the perpendicular distance from b to the line m not equal to the perpendicular distance from c to the line m.
