Answer:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Explanation:
An exponential function is in the general form
y
=
a
(
b
)
x
We know the points
(
−
1
,
8
)
and
(
1
,
2
)
, so the following are true:
8
=
a
(
b
−
1
)
=
a
b
2
=
a
(
b
1
)
=
a
b
Multiply both sides of the first equation by
b
to find that
8
b
=
a
Plug this into the second equation and solve for
b
:
2
=
(
8
b
)
b
2
=
8
b
2
b
2
=
1
4
b
=
±
1
2
Two equations seem to be possible here. Plug both values of
b
into the either equation to find
a
. I'll use the second equation for simpler algebra.
If
b
=
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
1
2
)
a
=
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
If
b
=
−
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
−
1
2
)
a
=
−
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
−
4
(
−
1
2
)
x
However! In an exponential function,
b
>
0
, otherwise many issues arise when trying to graph the function.
The only valid function is
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
100- 51 = 49
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = ax + b
x = 2 → f(x) = 1 and x = - 1 → f(x) = - 5 ( from the table )
Substitute these values into f(x) = ax + b, that is
2a + b = 1 → (1)
- a + b = - 5 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate b
3a = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 2
Substitute a = 2 into (2) and evaluate for b
- 2 + b = - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )
b = - 3
(b)
When x maps onto itself then
ax + b = x, that is
2x - 3 = x ( subtract x from both sides )
x - 3 = 0 ( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3
Thus a = 2, b = - 3 and x = 3
Answer:
length when found = length at birth + (age × yearly growth)
Step-by-step explanation:
TRIANGLE 1
c = 2√5
= 2 × √5
= √4 × √5
= √20
a = 2
b = ?
b² = c² - a²
= √20² - 2²
= 20² - 4
= 400 - 4
= 396
b = √396
= √36 × √11
= 6 × √11
= 6 √11
TRIAGLE 2
a = 12
b = 6√11
= √396
c = ?
c² = a² + b²
= 12² + √396
= 144 + √396²
= 144 + 396
c = √540
= √36 × √15
= 6 × √15
= 6 √15
