Answer:

$PO=86.2\\ OM=23.8\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

To preface, your figure is going to be a line segment, with $O$ as your midpoint, in between points $P$ & $M.$

With that being said:

$PO+OM=PM$

Identify your values:

$PO=7y+12\\OM=3y-8\\PM=110$

Substitute the values into the first equation:

$7y+12+3y-8=110$

Combine like terms:

$10y+4=110$

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation:

$10y=106$

Divide by the coefficient of $y$ , which is $10$ :

$y=10.6$

Substitute $10.6$ for $y$ in segments $PO$ & $OM$ :

$PO=7(10.6)+12$

$OM=3(10.6)-8$

$PO=74.2+12$

$OM=31.8-8$

Solve:

$PO=86.2$

$OM=23.8$

Check your answers by substituting:

$PO+OM=PM$

$86.2+23.8=110$

The table represents an exponential function.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

b=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is given as:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c}x&y\\--&--\\1&9\\2&6\\3&4\\4&\dfrac83\\\\5&\dfrac{16}{9}\end{array}\right|$

The exponential function is given in the form

$y= a (b)^{x}$

where a is the initial value and b is the multiplicative rate of change

When x=1, y=9, we have:

$9= a (b)^{1}$

When x=3, y=4, we have:

$4= a (b)^{3}$

Dividing the two equations:

$\dfrac{a (b)^{3}}{a (b)^{1}} =\dfrac{4}{9} \\b^2=\dfrac{4}{9}\\b=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{9}} \\b=\dfrac{2}{3}$

The multiplicative rate of change, b is 2/3.
