Explanation: the multiplicative rate is the ratio of the values y(k)/y(k+1) (with k being the index). This ratio must be the same for the function to be exponential. We can take y(2)/y(1) = 4/6 = 2/3.

We can use 2/3 to verify the remaining entries:

x=3: 4*2/3 = 8/3 = y(3)

x=4: (8/3)*(2/3)=16/9=y(3)

If 1/2x = a= 2/3y and x + y= na, what is the value of n?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} x=a=\frac{2}{3} y\\\frac{1}{2}x=a\\x=2a \\\frac{2}{3} y=a\\y=\frac{3}{2} a\\x+y=2a+\frac{3}{2} a=\frac{4a+3a}{2} =\frac{7}{2} a=na\\n=\frac{7}{2}$
