The exponential function is
f(x)=ab^x, where b is the base, the number to multiply every time x is increased by 1.
If f(x)=92, f(x+4)=280, then
f(x+4)/f(x) = 280/92 = ab^(x+4)/(ab^x) = b^4
to find the base b,
b^4=(280/92)
b=(280/92)^(1/4) ..... fourth root, or take square-root twice
=3.4035^(1/4)
=1.3208 (accurate to 4 places of decimal).
Edit: 92*1.3208^4 gives 279.9858 (missing little bit because of accuracy).
A slightly better accuracy would be
base = 1.320816698856163
and 92*1.320816698856163^4 would still be 279.9999999999993, but VERY close to 280.
So it all depends on the accuracy you need.
If you need more accuracy, please tell me how many accurate digits you'd like the results.
Here it is:
base = 1.320816698856163713875997666455513013800337299231824403890097792042432005288739246325005446716740
and if you multiply together
92*base^4, you will get 280 accurate to at least 90 digits after the decimal.
I think that should be sufficient for what you need. Recall that these calculations cannot be done or verified on a 10 or 12 digit calculator.
Well, to please you, I have calculated it to 500 digits, don't think that's going to be of much practical use for anybody.
By the way, that's as far as I will do this evening. My eyes are almost closing!

Answer:
B I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Quotient is the number gotten when you divide a number by a diviser.
In this case our number is 829 and the diviser is 4, and the quotient is 207.25. When the first digit 8 is divided by 4, we get 2, then since the second digit 2 is less than four we must put zero on the tens digit of the quotient so that we can pick the third digit 9 to form 29 which is greater than 4,and the process continues ...
Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x - 4 = x - 16 ( subtract x from both sides )
4x - 4 = - 16 ( add 4 to both sides )
4x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = - 3
