Answer:
a = 8, b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the exponential function
f(x) = a
To find a and b use the given coordinate points on the graph
Using (0, 8 ), then
8 = a
[
= 1 ] , then
a = 8
f(x) = 8
Using (2, 18 ) , then
18 = 8b² ( divide both sides by 8 )
= b² , that is
b² =
( take the square root of both sides )
b =
= 
Thus
f(x) = 8
7..
49 can be equally divided by seven, which means there would be 9 red roses in each center piece. And 63 can be equally divided by 7 which means there would by 7 white roses in each center piece.
hope this helps
306 / 18 = 17
So he's on $17 / hour
$204 / $17 = 12.
Therefore he'd make $204 in 12 hours.
The general formula for geometric series is tn = a×rⁿ⁻¹. In this question, a (or a1) is 3, and r is 1.1, therefore the first ten terms would be 3×1.1⁰ (3) , 3×1.1¹ (3.3), 3×1.1² (3.63) and so on up until you get to 3×1.1⁹ or 7.07.
