X = the number of people in the color guard
3x - 15 = 105
3x = 105 + 15
3x = 120
x = 40
there are 40 people in the color guard :)

The graph of an exponential function passes through (2,−32) and (3,−64). Find the exponential function that describes the graph.

Greeley [361]

Answer: $y=(-8)2^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function will have this form:

$y=ab^x$

We know that the function passes through the points $(2,-32)$ and $(3,-64)$ . Then, we can substitute the coordinates of the point $(2,-32)$ into $y=ab^x$ and solve for "a":

$-32=ab^2\\\\a=\frac{-32}{b^2}$

Then, we know that:

$y=(\frac{-32}{b^2})b^x$

Now, we neeed to substitute the coordinates of the second point $(3,-64)$ into $y=(\frac{-32}{b^2})b^x$ and solve for "b":

$-64=(\frac{-32}{b^2})b^3\\\\-64=-32b\\\\\frac{-64}{-32}=b\\\\b=2$

Substituting the value of "b" into $a=\frac{-32}{b^2}$ we can find "a":

$a\frac{-32}{2^2}\\\\a=-8$

Therefore, we get that the exponential function that describes the graph, is:

$y=(-8)2^x$

(-11.2)+10.1 = -1.1

(-11.2) +10.1 and 11.2+ (-10.1) are related because the negative signs are switch so both equations have the same answer.

10 POINTS PLEASE HELP!!! IT SEEMS EASY BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!

Leni [432]

Hello there!

I’m not sure if they want me to add the answers together or just do them separately.

Exponents
(-2)^2=(-2)(-2)=4
(7/6)^2=7/6(7/6)=49/36

I hope this helps!
Best wishes.
