Which equation represents an exponential function with an initial value of 500

Exponential function is characterized by an exponential increase or decrease of the value from one data point to the next by some constant. When you graph an exponential function, it would start by having a very steep slope. As time goes on, the slope decreases until it levels off. The general from of this equation is: y = A×b^x, where A is the initial data point at the start of an event, like an experiment. The term 'b' is the constant of exponential change. This is raised to the power of x, which represents the independent variable, usually time.

So, the hint for you to find is the term 500 right before the term with an exponent. For example, the function would be: y = 500(1.8)^x.

There's no parentheses or exponents, so the first is multiplication. 9*3 is 27. Next is division, 6/2 is 3. Next is adding.

15+3+27=45

The number of tickets for adults is 210 and the number of tickets for children is 83.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let x be the number of tickets for adults and y be the number of tickets for children.

From the problem:

x + y = 293

25.50x + 8y = 6019
