Given the exponential function:

The starting point is found when x = 0.
So, let's substitute x by 0.

Answer: The starting point is (0, 1.004).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No. Starting out, Maria walks away from home at a constant speed (which we recognize because the graph is at first a straight line). Then she stops for a little while, turns around and heads for home at the same speed as before (positively sloped graph), level graph, negatively sloped graph).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean theorem
D = 
the two points given are
(0, 3) and (-2, -3)

<span>A) How many cups of flour are there per serving?
</span>1 ½ cups of flour --------<span>6 servings
? cups of flour ------- 1 serving
</span>1 ½
------------
6
= 3/2 x 1/6
= 1/4
answer: 1/4 cups of flour per serving
<span>B) how many total cups of sugar(white and brown) are there per serving?
</span>total white and brown: <span>2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 cups (combine)
1 cup of sugar (white and brown) </span>--------6 servings
? cups of sugar (white and brown) ------ 1 serving
1
----- = 1/6
6
answer: 1/6 cups of sugar (white and brown) per serving
<span> (c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?
</span>
3/2 cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings
9 * 3/2
-----------
6
= (13 1/2) / 6
= 2 1/4
2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups
answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour
