Answer:

Slope - intercept form:

B) y= x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,-1) and (-1,-5)

Slope = (-5 + 1)/(-1 - 3)

Slope = -4 / -4

Slope = 1

Point slope form:

y + 1 = 1 (x - 3)

y +1 = x - 3

y = x - 4 <------------------slope - intercept form

1 = -3(-2) + b

1 = 6 + b

-5 = b

The exponential function f(x) = 3(5)x grows by a factor of 25 between x = 1 and x = 3. What factor does it grow by between x = 5

Delvig [45]

Answer:

B) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given exponential function:

$f(x)=3(5)^x$

The growth factor between $x=1$ and $x=3$ is 25.

To find the growth factor between $x=5$ and $x=7$

Solution:

The growth factor of an exponential function in the interval $x=a$ and $x=b$ is given by :

$G=\frac{f(b)}{f(a)}$

We can check this by plugging in the given points.

The growth factor between $x=1$ and $x=3$ would be calculated as:

$G=\frac{f(3)}{f(1)}$

$f(3)=3(5)^3$

$f(1)=3(5)^1$

Plugging in values.

$G=\frac{3(5)^3}{3(5)^1}$

$G=\frac{(5)^3}{(5)^1}$ (On canceling the common terms)

$G=(5)^{(3-1)}$ (Using quotient property of exponents $\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)}$ )

$G=(5)^{2}$

∴ $G=25$

Similarly the growth factor between $x=5$ and $x=7$ would be:

$G=\frac{f(7)}{f(5)}$

$f(7)=3(5)^7$

$f(5)=3(5)^5$

Plugging in values.

$G=\frac{3(5)^7}{3(5)^5}$

$G=\frac{(5)^7}{(5)^5}$ (On canceling the common terms)

$G=(5)^{(7-5)}$ (Using quotient property of exponents $\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{(b-c)}$ )

$G=(5)^{2}$

∴ $G=25$

Thus, the growth factor remains the same which is =25.

Find the selling price of the following item.<br> Original price of an iPod: $350<br> Discount 20%

Nata [24]

Answer: 280 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

if the IPOD is 350,

10% out of 350 is 350/10=35

20% is 35*2=70

the price will be 350-70=280

Choose answer choice a,b,c or d

just olya [345]

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, the y-intercept is -1. So, the answer must be A or C.

Then we can look at the the graph, you can see the line is left up right down. So the equation will be negative, which is A.
