Answer:
f(x) = -1/3x +23/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the linear regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to show you the equation of the line through these points:
f(x) = -1/3x +23/3
__
Approaching this in the usual way, we recognize we have points ...
(-1, 8) and (5, 6)
The slope of the line through those points is ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (6 -8)/(5 -(-1)) = -2/6 = -1/3
Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...
y - 8 = -1/3(x +1)
Adding 8 gives us a form we can use for a function definition:
f(x) = -1/3(x +1) +8
f(x) = -1/3x +7 2/3
Answer:
y = 3
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 = a → (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
=
, that is
b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )
b = = 2
Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a
12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
3 = a
Thus
y = 3 ← is the exponential function
