Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
Option D: Two irrational solutions
Explanation:
The equation is 
Subtracting 6x from both sides, we have,
Solving the equation using quadratic formula,
Simplifying the expression, we get,
Taking out the common terms and simplifying, we have,
Dividing by 3, we get,
Hence, the equation has two irrational solutions.
Hi.
To formally answer your question:
D. y = 0.75<em>x</em> + 11
We can prove this by substituting <em>x</em> with 1 (the initial measurement)
y = 0.75(1) + 11 = 11.75
~
Leave the whole number alone for now. Divide 41 by 80 and you get 0.5125
So your answer is 9.5125
A. 8 pages per hour because 120 (2 hours) ÷15=8
b. $40÷15 (pages)=$2.70 (rounded)
