Answer:

A series is used only for n taking the values of natural numbers

But a function or an equation is used for all real values of x. It is not necessary that x should be a natural number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is used when domain is all real values

f(x) = 3x+5 is valid for all x real. x can take values as irrational also, negative or fractions.

But in a series, such as 2+3n, we have the restriction for domain n as only the set of all natural numbers

Here n cannot take negative or 0 or fractions or irrational numbers.

Thus the domain is the one which makes the difference of using an equation and a series.

A series is used only for n taking the values of natural numbers

But a function or an equation is used for all real values of x. It is not necessary that x should be a natural number.

Find the equation of an exponential function in the form y = ab^x, given the points (0, 3) and (2, 108/25). Please simplify your

lilavasa [31]

We have the equation:

$y=a\cdot b^x$

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.

The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

$\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}$

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:

$\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}$

Then, we can write the equation as:

$y=3\cdot(\frac{6}{5})^x$

Simplify 2(x - 3) + 7(x + 2)

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

9x + 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 3) + 7(x + 2)

= 2x - 6 + 7x + 14

= 2x + 7x - 6 + 14

= 9x + 8.

Hope this helps!
