From the list of given options;
Option A is correct
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the exponential function is,
y = a(b)ˣ
Since the graph of this function passes through two points
and (3, -1)
For the point
,
---------(1)
For second point (3, -1),
-1 = a(b)³ ---------(2)
Divide equation (2) by equation (1),
=


From equation (2)
-1 = 
-1 =
a = 8
Therefore, equation of the exponential function will be,
y = 
Answer:
20% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
30-25=5

solve for x
(5*100)/25 = 20
Answer:
x=21.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute 3 to the parenthesis. You should get 3x-21=42 at this point. Then you add 21 to 42 to get 63. Here you should be at 3x=63. Divide 63 by 3 to get x=3
