You have to make 7 into 21/3. Then change 2 1/3 into 7/3. Then divide 21/3 abd 7/3 which equals 3/3 which equals 1.
Answer (B) 2/3
Explanation: the multiplicative rate is the ratio of the values y(k)/y(k+1) (with k being the index). This ratio must be the same for the function to be exponential. We can take y(2)/y(1) = 4/6 = 2/3.
We can use 2/3 to verify the remaining entries:
x=3: 4*2/3 = 8/3 = y(3)
x=4: (8/3)*(2/3)=16/9=y(3)
28.8 = 18x....divide both sides by 18, eliminating the 18 on the right side
28.8 / 18 = x
1.6 = x <==
The answer to (3x-1)2=5 is x= 7/6
