Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use 2 coordinates from the table along with the standard form for an exponential function to write the equation that models that data. The standard form for an exponential function is
where x and y are coordinates from the table, a is the initial value, and b is the growth/decay rate. I will use the first 2 coordinates from the table: (0, 3) and (1, 1.5)
Solving first for a:
. Sine anything in the world raised to a power of 0 is 1, we can determine that
a = 3. Using that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate I chose, I can then solve for b:
. Since b to the first is just b:
1.5 = 3b so
b = .5
Filling in our model:
Since the value for b is greater than 0 but less than 1 (in other words a fraction smaller than 1), this table represents a decay function.
Answer: -104
Explanation: x=-9 y=2
2(y-3xy)
=2(2-3(-9)(2))
=4-2(3(-18))
=4-108
=-104

Answer:
it's ax+b form answer is Q(x-2)=4x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
ax+b=Q(x),Q(x-2)=a(x-2)+2
Q(3x)=a(3x)+b=12x+2, 3a=12 =>a=4,b=2
the original q of x is 4x+2
Q of x-2 =4(x-2)+2=4x-8+2=4x-6
10% of 80 = 8
80 - 8 = 72
if they are 10% off, the contact lenses will cost $72
