Emily is 17 because if you divide 26 by 2 and get 13 then add 4 to it to get 17 then grace would also 9 years old.

Hi!

e = Emily

g = Grace

e = g + 4

e + g = 26

g + 4 + g = 26

2g = 22

g = 22/2 = 11

e = g + 4 = 15

Emily is 15 years old.

Hope this helps!

The exponential function f(x) = 3(5)x grows by a factor of 25 between x = 1 and x = 3. What factor does it grow by between x = 5

Delvig [45]

Answer:

B) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given exponential function:

$f(x)=3(5)^x$

The growth factor between $x=1$ and $x=3$ is 25.

To find the growth factor between $x=5$ and $x=7$

Solution:

The growth factor of an exponential function in the interval $x=a$ and $x=b$ is given by :

$G=\frac{f(b)}{f(a)}$

We can check this by plugging in the given points.

The growth factor between $x=1$ and $x=3$ would be calculated as:

$G=\frac{f(3)}{f(1)}$

$f(3)=3(5)^3$

$f(1)=3(5)^1$

Plugging in values.

$G=\frac{3(5)^3}{3(5)^1}$

$G=\frac{(5)^3}{(5)^1}$ (On canceling the common terms)

$G=(5)^{(3-1)}$ (Using quotient property of exponents $\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)}$ )

$G=(5)^{2}$

∴ $G=25$

Similarly the growth factor between $x=5$ and $x=7$ would be:

$G=\frac{f(7)}{f(5)}$

$f(7)=3(5)^7$

$f(5)=3(5)^5$

Plugging in values.

$G=\frac{3(5)^7}{3(5)^5}$

$G=\frac{(5)^7}{(5)^5}$ (On canceling the common terms)

$G=(5)^{(7-5)}$ (Using quotient property of exponents $\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)}$ )

$G=(5)^{2}$

∴ $G=25$

Thus, the growth factor remains the same which is =25.

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by these two lines?

zepelin [54]

The solution is (3,2) cause both of the lines intersect at one point (which is a solution),and that point is (3,2) :)
