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
<span>To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this
2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
(2x - 10) - 6x = -22
2x - 6x = -22 +10
-4x= -12
x= -12/-4
x=3</span>
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
x^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 100
we can rewrite this as
(x-0)^2 + (y - -6)^2 = 10^2
the center is (0,-6) and the radius is 10
x=-3
This is because when a line is vertical, then it has an undefined slope and so it must have a value for x only. This shows it must be x=-3.
