How are y-intercepts of y=(1/3)^x and y=5(1/3)^x different?
2 answers:
Remark.
The easiest way to do this question is to graph it. Start with that.
The red line is y = (1/3)^x
The blue line is y = 5*(1/3)^x
Comment
The red line's y intercept is (0,1)
The blue line's y intercept is (0,5)
Why
If the x value is 0 then (1/3)^0 = 1
y = (1/3)^0 = 1 * 1 = 1 and for the blue graph
y = 5*(1/3)^0 = 5*1 = 5
In other words, in this set of equations, the 5 makes the y intercept 5 times larger than the 1 in front of y = (1/3)^x
If you have choices, could you please list them? I may be giving you the right answer but not in the form required.

Answer:
(b) The number of pounds of berries each person would receive is pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of berries in first basket = 3 3/8 pounds
Now,
So, the amount of berries in first basket = 3.375 pounds
The amount of berries in second basket = 2 7/8 pounds
Now,
So, the amount of berries in second basket = 2.875 pounds
Now, the total berries = Berries in ( First + Second) basket
= 3.375 pounds + 2.875 pounds
= 6.25 pounds
So, the number of pounds each person would have =
Now,
So, the number of pounds of berries each person would receive is pounds.
