f(x) = 11.93·1.42^x
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>I entered the data into a graphing calculator and made use of its exponential regression function to find the coefficients of ...
... y = a·b^x
It told me ...
... a ≈ 11.9304, b ≈ 1.41885
In accordance with the problem statement, these values are rounded to hundredths to get the answer.

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
The given points and two curves are show. The solid red curve is the exponential regression curve produced by the calculator. The dotted blue curve is the one you get when you round the numbers to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
a = 9.4 cm
b = 12.0 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the image uploaded for diagram;
For the first diagram, side length a is calculated as follows;
a² = 8² + 5²
a² = 64 + 25
a² = 89
a = √89
a = 9.4 cm ( approximated to 1 decimal place)
For the second diagram, side length b is calculated as follows;
b² = 17² - 12²
b² = 145
b = √145
b = 12.0 cm (approximated to 1 decimal place)
