The steps are following:

1) Construct a circle with point H as the center and a circle with point J as a center with each circle having radius HJ.

2) Construct horizontal HJ¯¯¯¯¯ ​

3) Label the point of intersection of the two circles above​ ​ HJ¯¯¯¯¯ ​​, point K, and the point of intersection of the two circles below ​ HJ¯¯¯¯¯ ​, point L.

4) Construct KL¯¯¯¯¯ , the perpendicular bisector of ​ HJ¯¯¯¯¯ ​, intersecting​ ​ HJ¯¯¯¯¯ ​ ​​at point M.

5) Construct a circle with point M as the center with radius MJ.

6) Label the point of intersection of circle M and ​ KL¯¯¯¯¯ ​ closest to point K, point N, and the point of intersection of circle M and ​ KL¯¯¯¯¯ ​ closest to point L, point O.

7) Construct HN¯¯¯¯¯¯ , NJ¯¯¯¯¯ , JO¯¯¯¯¯ , and OH¯¯¯¯¯¯ to complete square HNJO .

Find the equation of the exponential function represented by the table below:
Leona [35]

Answer:

The exponential equation is;

y = 0.1•0.5^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the exponential function represented by the table

Mathematically, the general form of an exponential function is;

y = a•b^x

By getting a and b, we have the exponential function

We can use any of the points;

Let us start with (0,0.1)

0.1 = a•b^0

anything raised to zero is 1

0.1 = a * 1

a = 0.1

Now, we have a

Let us work with the second point to get b

The point is (1,0.05)

0.05 = 0.1•b^1

0.05 = 0.1b

b = 0.05/0.1

b = 0.5

Thus, we have the equation as;

y = 0.1•0.5^x
