Answer:
a = 8, b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the exponential function
f(x) = a
To find a and b use the given coordinate points on the graph
Using (0, 8 ), then
8 = a
[
= 1 ] , then
a = 8
f(x) = 8
Using (2, 18 ) , then
18 = 8b² ( divide both sides by 8 )
= b² , that is
b² =
( take the square root of both sides )
b =
= 
Thus
f(x) = 8
Answer:
length=45 m (2 sides = 90m)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x +3x=144
8x=144
x=18 (each of the 8 parts of 144 measure 18m)
5(18) + 3(18)=144
90 +54=144
90/2=45 (1 length side)
54/2=27 (1 width side)
The rectangle= 45+45 +27+27 = 144
To find the total cost, you need to add these numbers together

you get 7.37 as your answer, but you need to round this to the nearest whole number.
rounding 7.37 will make it 7.
the total cost is about $7
