5 1/8 = ((5x8)+1)/8 = 41/8

(80-41)/8 = 39/8

39/8 = 4 7/8

10 - 41/8

Convert 10 to a denominator of 8:

10 * 8 = 80

Tom and same sit down to eat a pie. Tom eats 2/3 of the pie , and sam eats 1/4 of the pie what function of the pie is left

dlinn [17]

If you mean fraction,

Tom: 2/3

Sam: 1/4

Now we change the denominator.

Tom: 6/12

Sam: 3/12

6/12 + 3/12 = 9/12

9/12 can be simplified, so 3/4 of the pie was eaten.

4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4

The answer is 1/4.

Which of these is an exponential parent function? A. f(x) = 2^x – 3 B. f(x) = 2^x + 2 C. f(x) = 2^x D. f(x) = 2^x + 1/3

anygoal [31]

An exponential parent function is the option C. f(x)= $2^{x}$ , from the given options.

What do you mean by exponential parent function?

The formula for their parent function is y = $b^{x}$ , where b is any non zero constant. Below is a graph of the parent function, y = $e^{x}$ , which demonstrates that it will never equal 0. And at y = 1 when x = 0, y crosses the y-axis.
