Answer:
y = 1/2 (2)x
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.
2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.
2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3
Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2
2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2
b = 2
Any of the 4 people can take the first seat
since it gets occupied by one person , the next seat can be occupied by any of the remaining 3
similarly, the next one has 2 possibilities and the last seat can only be occupied by the man who is left
so by the principal of multiplication, no. of ways equals 4! = 4×3×2×1 = 24 ways
