The answer is 8^18...
3*6 = 17 and the 8 stays the same
1/2 in. = 5 miles
1 in. / 2 = 1/2 in.
8 * 2 = 16
16 * 5 = 80 miles
Given:
The table of values of an exponential function.
To find:
The missing values in the exponential function.
Solution:
The general exponential function is defined as:
...(i)
Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.
First point from the given table is (1,10). It means, the equation (i) must be true for (1,10).
...(ii)
Second point from the given table is (2,20). It means, the equation (i) must be true for (2,20).
...(iii)
Dividing (iii) by (ii), we get


Putting
in (ii), we get



Putting
in (i), we get

The required exponential function for the given table of values is
. So, the missing values are 2 and x, where 2 is in the base and x is in the power.
Use the substitution method:
2x - 6y = -12
x - 2y = -8
Then x = 2y - 8
Substitute in the first equation:
2(2y - 8) - 6y = -12
4y - 16 - 6y = -12
-2y = 4
y = -2
Now substitute y in one of the two equations given you prefer:
For example x-2*(-2) = -8
x + 4 = -8
x = -12
The solutions are x = -12 and y = -2
