Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So to solve this, we want to know how many miles can we do in every 1 gallon of gas.

To solve this, we do: 380 / 14 = 27.14 miles for every 1 gallon

Okay, so if we have 1/2 a gallon stashed away, how far can we get on every 1/2 gallon...

To solve this, we do: 27.14 / 2 = 13.57 miles for every 1/2 gallon


So...

The answer is: We will NOT be able to get to the Gas Station that is 15miles away, because we can only go about 13.5 miles with every 1/2 gallon.

Does this table represent an exponential function? x 1 2 3 4 y 4 16 64 256
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Yes, the given table represent an exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table is :

x y

1 4

2 16

3 64

4 256

Now we need to identify if the given table represent an exponential function or not. To find that we need to check if we can write the numbers in y-column in form of exponential function y=ab^x.

We see that y-values are basically powers of 4 so we can write the related function as y=4^x.

Which is clearly in form of y=ab^x.

Hence yes, the given table represent an exponential function.
