A = b-1
2b=3a - 12

2b = 3(b-1) -12
2b = 3b - 3 -12
b = 15 a= 14

Which set of ordered pairs could be generated by an exponential function?

devlian [24]

ANSWER

(0, 1), (1, 3), (2, 9), (3, 27)

EXPLANATION

The first and third options are completely out because the y-value of an exponential function is never zero.

For the second option the y-values has no geometric pattern or common ratio.

For the last option, we can observe the following pattern

$1 = {3}^{0}$

${3}^{1} = 3$

${3}^{2} = 9$

${3}^{3} = 27$

${3}^{x} = y$

The correct choice is the last option

What the equation of this graph?? I need help

yuradex [85]

X = 3

and

formula -

(y-y1)/(x-x1) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (4,1)
(x2,y2) =( 5,3)

(y-1)/(x-4) = (3-1)/(5-4)

y-1/x-4 = 2/1

y-1 = 2x - 8

y = 2x - 7

the solution will be x= 3 and y = -1
