The formula for an exponential equation is y = a * b^x with a and b being a fixed value.
"a" would also be the Y intercept, which is where the graph touches or crosses the Y axis. In the given graph, the curved line touches the Y axis at 100, so the value of a would be 100.
Now we need to find b.
The blue dot at Y 50 is lined up with x = 1, so we can use the point (1,50)
Using the X and Y values we can solve for b:
format: y = a * b^x we replace the letters with the numbers above:
50 = 100 * b^1
b^1 = b so now we have:
50 = 100 *b
Divide both sides by 100 to get b by itself:
b = 50/100, which reduces to 1/2, so b = 1/2
So the equation of the graph becomes y = 100(1/2)^x
You may need to write the 1/2 as 0.5, not sure how you need to enter it.
Answer:
x = -1 ± √6 / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve + 2x = 1
move 1 to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.
+ 2x - 1 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
-b± / 2a
Substitute the values a = 5 , b = 2, and c = -1 into the quadratic formula and solve for x
-2±/ 2 ⋅ 5
Simplify.
x = -2 ± 2 / 10
x = -1 ± / 5
Exact Form:
x = -1 ± / 5
Answer:
it is an arithmetic sequence
m is slope
b is y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
"Interpret the rate of change and the y-intercept.
"
Rate of change is 5. Each ticket costs 5$.
Y-intercept is (0,-17). They spent $17 on supplies before they sold tickets.
(Sorry, you probably already know the answer)
Answer:
y = x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m -> slope ; m = 1
b -> y-intercept ; b = 5
y = 1x + 5
