Function f is an exponential function. It predicts the value of a famous painting, in thousands of dollars, as a function of the

number of years since it was last purchased. What equation models this function? Graph on a coordinate plane with axes labeled x and f of x. An exponential curve passes through 0 comma 8, 1 comma 10, and 2 comma 12.5. Enter your answer in the box. f(x)=

Answer:

y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x

f(x)=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x

or

f(x)=8 \cdot (1.25)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to see if the exponential curve is of the form:

y=a \cdot b^x, (b\neq 0).

If you are given the y-intercept, then a is easy to find.

It is just the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is your value for a.

(Why? The y-intercept happens when x=0. Replacing x with 0 gives y=a \cdot b^0=a \cdot 1=a. This says when x=0 \text{ that} y=a.)

So a=8.

So our function so far looks like this:

y=8 \cdot b^x

Now to find b we need another point. We have two more points. So we will find b using one of them and verify for our resulting equation works for the other.

Let's do this.

We are given (1,10) is a point on our curve.

So when x=1, y=10.

10=8 \cdot b^1

10=8 \cdot b

Divide both sides by 8:

\frac{10}{8}=b

Reduce the fraction:

\frac{5}{4}=b

So the equation if it works out for the other point given is:

y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x

Let's try it.  So the last point given that we need to satisfy is (2,12.5).

This says when x=2, y=12.5.

Let's replace x with 2 and see what we get for y:

y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^2

y=8 \cdot \frac{25}{16}

y=\frac{8}{16} \cdot 25

y=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 25}

y=\frac{25}{2}

y=12.5

So we are good. We have found an equation satisfying all 3 points given.

The equation is y=8 \cdot (\frac{5}{4})^x.

What is the difference between an irrational number and an integer?? please explain!
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation: Irrational numbers are non-terminating, recurring decimal numbers i.e, a decimal expansion that neither terminates nor becomes periodic which cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction. ... Integer is a complete entity that includes every natural number along with its negatives and zero.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)
inessss [21]

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m= (-6--5)/(-1--3)

m = (-6+5)/(-1+3)

m=-1/2

A sixth grade math student made this conjecture: every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers. Do you
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.
