Answer:

Here is the complete question (attachment).

The function which represent the given points are f(x)=8(2)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a general exponential function is like,y=a(b)^{x}

We can find the answer by hit and trial method by plugging the values of (x,y) coordinates.

Here we are going to solve this with the above general formula.

So as the points are (1,16) then for x=1,\ y=16

Can be arranged in terms of the general equation.

ab^1=16...equation(1) and ab^4=128...equation(2)

a\times b=16, then\ a=\frac{16}{a}

Plugging the values in equation 2.

We have

\frac{16}{b} b^4=128,16\times b^3=128,b=\sqrt[3]{\frac{128}{16}} =\sqrt[3]{8}=2

Plugging b=2 in equation 1.

We have a=\frac{16}{b} =\frac{16}{2} =8

Comparing with the general equation of exponential a=8 and b=2

So the function which depicts the above points =y=8(2)^x

From theoption we have B as the correct answer.

Turn 18/5 into a decimal
lana [24]
18/5 is basically 3 3/5 as a mixed number. When you convert a fraction to a decimal, you always want the denominator to either 10, 100, or 1000 so that the number is accurate. And so you multiply the denominator by what ever number will get 10, 100 or 1000, in which in this case is 10 when you multiply by 2. Multiply the numerator(3) by 2 so that it will be the same value. You should now have 3 6/10. After that, since 6/10 is basically 60/100, take out the 100 and move the decimal unit 2 units to the left of 60. And since you still have the whole number three, your final answer will be 3.6.
