Write an exponential function y=ab^x whose graph passes through the points (2,18) and (4,162)

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the points to find a and b, that is

(2, 18)

18 = ab^{2} → (1)

(4, 162)

162 = ab^{4} → (2)

divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ab^4}{ab^2} = \frac{162}{18} = 9

b² = 9 ⇒ b = 3

substitute b = 3 into (1)

18 = 9a ⇒ a = 2

y = 2(3)^{x} ← exponential equation

zepelin [54]
You can go through the effort of determining the zero of the function analytically and evaluating an analytic expression for the derivative at that point, or you can let a graphing calculator do that heavy lifting. Since the numbers have to be "nice" for your equation to have the desired form, it is easy to know what to round to in the event that is necessary (it isn't).

We find the positive zero-crossing at x=2, and the slope of the curve at that point to be 8. Thus the line will have slope -1/8 and can be written as
.. x +8y -2 = 0

Two-thirds of the dairy cattle on a farm are in the barn. One-fourth of the beef cattle are in the barn. There are 24 dairy catt
jek_recluse [69]
The correct answer is 36 - there are 36 more beef cattle on the farm than dairy cattle. We can work this out by multiplying 16 by 3 to get 48. 48 take 12 is 36. 16 is one fourth, 24 is two thirds, which means you then need to divide this by two to get 12, which means that 12 is one third.

A kite is designed on a rectangular grid with squares that measure 1cm by 1 cm. A hexagonal piece within the kite will be reserv
Nata [24]

Answer:

The answer is the first answer

P = 8 + 4√13 cm

A = 36 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the figure

- Its a kite with two diagonals

- The shortest one is 12 cm

- The longest one is 26 ⇒ axis of symmetry of the kite

- the shortest diagonal divides the longest into two parts

- The smallest part is 8 cm and the largest one is 18 cm

* To find the area reserved for the logo divide

 the hexagonal piece into two congruent trapezium

- The length of the two parallel bases are 4 cm and 8 cm and

  its height is 3 cm

- The length of non-parallel bases can calculated by Pythagoras rule

∵ The lengths of the two perpendicular sides are 2 cm and 3 cm

- 3 cm is the height of the trapezium

- 2 cm its the difference between the 2 parallel bases ÷ 2

  (8 - 4)/2 = 4/2 = 2 cm

∴ The length of the non-parallel base = √(2² + 3²) = √13

* Now we can find the area of the space reserved for the logo

- The area of the trapezium = (1/2)(b1 + b2) × h

∴ The area = (1/2)(4 + 8) × 3 = (1/2)(12)(3) = 18 cm²

∵ The space reserved for the logo are 2 trapezium

∴ The area reserved for the logo = 2 × 18 = 36 cm²

* The area of the reserved space for the logo = 36 cm²

* The perimeter of the reserved space for the logo is the

  perimeter of the hexagon

∵ The lengths of the sides of the hexagon are:

   4 cm , 4 cm , √13 cm , √13 cm , √13 cm , √13 cm

∴ The perimeter = 2(4) + 4(√13) = 8 + 4√13 cm

* The perimeter of the reserved space for the logo = 8 + 4√13 cm
