Answer:

y = 3(2)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given points into the function and solve for a and b

Using (2, 12)

12 = ab² → (1)

Using (5, 96)

96 = ab^{5} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ab^5}{ab^2} = \frac{96}{12} , that is

b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )

b = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2

Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a

12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(2)^{x} ← is the exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Profit of 10 on white cement

Loss of 5 on Grey cement

Number of white cement sold = 325 bags

Number of Grey cement sold = 500 bags

Total profit made on sale of white cement :

10 * 325 = 3250

Loss made on sale of Grey cement :

5 * 500 = 2500

Total profit or loss :

3250 - 2500

= 750

Profit value is greater than. Loss value (hence, total profit of 750 was made).
