Find the exponential function that passes through the points (2,80) and (5,5120)

juin [17]

Answer:

y = 5·4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), whose relationship can be described by the exponential function ...

y = a·b^x

you can find the values of 'a' and 'b' as follows.

Substitute the given points:

y1 = a·b^(x1)

y2 = a·b^(x1)

Divide the second equation by the first:

y2/y1 = ((ab^(x2))/(ab^(x1)) = b^(x2 -x1)

Take the inverse power (root):

(y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1) = b

Use this value of 'b' to find 'a'. Here, we have solved the first equation for 'a'.

a = y1/(b^(x1))

In summary:

b = (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1))
a = y1·b^(-x1)

For the problem at hand, (x1, y1) = (2, 80) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5120).

b = (5120/80)^(1/(5-2)) = ∛64 = 4

a = 80·4^(-2) = 80/16 = 5

The exponential function is ...

y = 5·4^x

Tisha and her academic team are working to go to state finals. They must have a certain number of points to advance. They have h

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$b=\frac{T-a-c-d}{3}$

b = (T - a - c - d) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of points required to advance.

a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:

$T=a+c+d+3b$

Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:

$T=a+c+d+3b\\3b=T-a-c-d\\b=\frac{T-a-c-d}{3}$

They need to score (T - a - c - d)/3, in the district match in order to win.

Find the area of the parallegram

sweet [91]

Answer:

To find the area, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply. The base and height of a parallelogram must be perpendicular.
