Question

Can someone plz help me plz...

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=150*3^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

so basically make a system of equations using what's given and solve.

Understand that the equation is the same as  $y=ab^{x}$

First: make two points to plug in

(0, 150) and (1, 450)

Therefore x (or t) is the time in months

and y (or N) is the number of lilies

Second: Plug in to make system

$150=ab^{0} \\450=ab^{1}$

Third: solve

let's start with the fist equation

first simplify: b to the zero power is just 1 $b^{0} =1$

$150=a1\\150=a$

Now plug in 150 to the a in the other equation

$450=ab^{1}\\450=150b^{1}$

solve for b

simplify: $b^{1} =b$

$450=150b$

b=3

now you're done

equation: $y=150*3^{x}$
