X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x
1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20
2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2
Substitute into second equation
10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2
Substitute back in
b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2
End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x
Answer: Shannon is 18 and Jenny is 15. Because 18+15=33
Step-by-step explanation:
5 the answer I took the test
Amanda Billy
1st week 10 5
2nd week 20 10
3rd week 30 20
4th week 40 40
<span>
A) Amanda's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every week.</span>
common difference is 10.
1st week 0 + 10 = 10
2nd week 10 + 10 = 20
3rd week 20 + 10 = 30
4th week 30 + 10 = 40
Billy's method is exponential:
5(2)^x
1st week 5(2⁰) = 5(1) = 5
2nd week 5(2¹) = 5(2) = 10
3rd week 5(2²) = 5(4) = 20
4th week 5(2³) = 5(8) = 40
