The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.

Answer:
C. f(x)=3(1/2)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
standard form of a function is f(x)=ab^x
a should be 3, or the y value where the x value is 0
the b value is 1/2 because that's the rate of change
Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
