It means the same used in a question like this, is 25 as much as 25.
8000 because 3 is less than 5 so you stay the same (which is 8)
We have the equation:
We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.
The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.
Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:
![\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20y%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex%20%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%20%5C%5C%203%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%5Ccdot3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B3%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B25%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B36%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Then, we can write the equation as:
Answer:
The cafeteria provides three meals per day.
<u>Reason 1</u>
Yes, they vary directly
As number of days increases ,Total number of meals i.e
1st day ⇒ 3
2nd day⇒6
3 rd day⇒9
4th day⇒12
......................
.........................
increases.
Total number of Meals = k×Number of days
But there is another possibility also
<u>Reason 2</u>
1 st day ⇒ 3
2nd day ⇒3
3rd day⇒ 3
.....................
.....................
As you can see from the above expression On each day number of meals is
constant.
So we can say that ,
On each Day=Constant amount of meal=3
So, there is no Proportionality between Days and Meal.
