When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7
When an exponential function is given as
f(x)=ab^x, and
knowing that b^0=1, that means that
f(0)=ab^0=a value of function when x=0, or the initial value.
In the case of
f(x)=20.b^x, f(0)=20.b^0 = 20 (initial value)
If b=1.2, then the hourly growth rate is (1.2-1)=0.2=20%.
If b=1.85, then the hourly growth rate is (1.85-1)=0.85=85%.
