Answer:

The ratio of AC/CB=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

We substitute the point A(-1.5,0) and B(4.5,8).

We plug in the points to get:

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n})

This is supposed to be equal to: (0,2).

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n}) = (0,2)

We can equate, corresponding coordinates to find m and n.

\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m + n}  = 0

This implies that:

4.5m - 1.5n = 0

4.5m  = 1.5n

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1.5}{4.5}

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1}{3}

Therefore the ratio is m:n=1:3

Answer:

  y = 15·2.1599^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the number changed by the ratio 1523/15 = 101.5333... in 6 days, so the daily multiplier is the 6th root of this:

  b = 101.5333...^(1/6) = 2.1599 . . . rounded to 4 dp

Of course, the coefficient 'a' in the equation is the initial number, 15.

Your exponential equation is ...

  y = 15·2.1599^x

  a = 15

  b = 2.1599
