We want our exponential function to look like
y = ab^x.
Let a = the initial y-value.
Our initial value is the first number given for f(x). So, a = 3.
Let b = the number that is needed to go from 3 to 6 to 12 to 24 to 48.
We find b by division.
So, b = the next number divided by the previous.
So, b = 6/3 = 2.
We now plug in our values into the general formula above.
y = ab^x
Answer: y = (3)(2)^x
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
1/4 pizza $5
------------- = -----------
x $8
2 pizza
Then (1/4)($8) = ($5)x, or x = --------------- (that's 2/5 of a whole pizza).
5
Answer:
x<1
Step-by-step explanation:
[1x + 1]< 2
Simplify both sides of the inequality.
x+1<2
Subtract 1 from both sides.
x+1−1<2−1
x<1
Answer:
x<1
On the graph line, the circle is open on number 1 and is going left

Answer:
it depends. 365.05 or 3.6505×10²
Step-by-step explanation:
In the US, 365.05 is already in standard form.
In the UK, "standard form" is the same as "scientific notation", so the number would be ...
3.6505×10²
Answer:
Tn = 64-4n
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an AP is expressed as:
Tn = a+(n-1)d
a is the common difference
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
Given the 6th term a6 = 40
T6 = a+(6-1)d
T6 = a+5d
40 = a+5d ... (1)
Given the 20th term a20 = -16
T20 = a+(20-1)d
T20 = a+19d
-16 = a+19d... (2)
Solving both equation simultaneously
40 = a+5d
-16 = a+19d
Subtracting both equation
40-(-16) = 5d-19d
56 = -14d
d = 56/-14
d = -4
Substituting d = -4 into equation
a+5d = 40
a+5(-4) = 40
a-20 = 40
a = 20+40
a = 60
Given a = 60, d = -4, to get the nth term of the sequence:
Tn = a+(n-1)d
Tn = 60+(n-1)(-4)
Tn = 60+(-4n+4)
Tn = 60-4n+4
Tn = 64-4n
