Please help. Write the equation of the graph. (Do not use spaces. Use ^ to represent exponents. Example 2^3 is 23.)

This graph has a horizontal asymptote so it is an exponential graph. It also passes through two points (0,-2) and (1,3). The horizontal asymptote is at y=-3.
The unchanged exponential equation is y=a(b)^x +k
For exponential equations, k is always equal to the horizontal asymptote, so k=-3.
You can check this with the ordered pair (0,-2). After that plug in the other ordered pair, (1,3).
This gives you 3=a(b)^1 or 3=ab. If you know the base the answer is simple as you just solve for a.
If you don't know the base at this point you have to sort of guess. For example, let's say both a and b are whole numbers. In that case b would have to be 3, as it can't be 1 since then the answer never changes, and a is 1. Then choose an x-value and not exact corresponding y-value. In this case x=-1 and y= a bit less than -2.75. Plug in the values to your "final" equation of y=(3)^x -3.
So -2.75=(3^-1)-3. 
3^-1 is 1/3, 1/3-3 is -8/3 or -2.6667 which is pretty close to -2.75. So we can say the final equation is y=3^x -3. 
Hope this helps! It's a lot easier to solve problems like these given either more points which you can use system of equations with, or with a given base or slope.

Customers enter the waiting line to pay for food as they leave a cafeteria on a first-come, first-served basis. The arrival rate
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer is B) 0.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have to apply queueing theory.

It is a single server queueing problem.

The arrival rate is  \lambda=4 and the service rate is \mu=7.

The proportion of time that the server is busy is now as the "server utilization"and can be calculated as:

p=\frac{\lambda}{c\mu} =\frac{4}{1*7}=0.57

where c is the number of server (in this case, one server).

Let (3, -2) be a point on the Terminal Side of θ. Find the exact values of Cosθ, Secθ, and Cotθ
V125BC [204]

\bf (\stackrel{a}{3}~,~\stackrel{b}{-2})\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the hypotenuse} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c = \sqrt{3^2+(-2)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{9+4}\implies c=\sqrt{13} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf cos(\theta )\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{13}}}\implies \cfrac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}\implies \cfrac{3\sqrt{13}}{13} \\\\\\ sin(\theta )\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-2}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{13}}}\implies \cfrac{-2}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}\implies \cfrac{-2\sqrt{13}}{13} \\\\\\ cot(\theta )\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\stackrel{opposite}{-2}}

Which expression is equivalent to 3x + 5y + x - 2y?
lys-0071 [83]
D. 4x +7y

3x+5y+x-2y

x is also another way to say that there is 1x

4x + x (or 1x)= 5x

3y and 7y have the same variable

7y+3y=10y

Hence number D
