Answer:

y = 20*4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of the constants a and b, we just need to use the points given in the equation and solve the system of equations:

point (0,20): x = 0 and y = 20:

20 = a*b^0 = a*1 = a

a = 20

point (2,320): x = 2 and y = 320

320 = 20 * b^2

b^2 = 16

|b| = 4

b = 4 or b = -4

So we have two exponencial equations that pass through these points:

y = 20*4^x and y = 20*(-4)^x

As the questions asks for just one equation, we can answer y = 20*4^x

Answer:

The exponential function is;

y = a \cdot b^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have;

y = ab^x

Therefore for points (0, 20) we have

20 = a·b⁰ = a

∴ a = 20

For point (2, 320) we have;

320 = 20×b²

Therefore, b² = 320/20 = 16

Hence b = √16 = 4

From the above, the exponential function y = a·b^x is given by substituting the values of a and b as follows;

y = 20×4^x.

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154m.Its length is 2m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and bread
TiliK225 [7]

P = 154\\a = 2b + 2

a = ?; b = ?

P = 2(a + b) = 2(2b + 2 + b) = 2(3b + 2) = 6b + 4

154 = 6b + 4\\6b = 154 - 4\\6b = 150\\b = 150 : 6\\b = 25

a = 2b + 2 = 2 * 25 + 2 = 50 + 2 = 52

Answer: 25 and 52 m.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!
Stels [109]
Hi there!

The answer is A. The constant 900 represents the amount Kayla's bakery earns in a particular month when there are no online orders. 

Since 900 is part of the cost that is added to the amount of money Kayla makes per online order (x), it must represent the amount Kayla's bakery makes without online orders. 

Hope this helps!

The graph of a sinusoidal function intersects its midline at (0,5) and then has a maximum point at (\pi,6)
Natalija [7]
First, let's use the given information to determine the function's amplitude, midline, and period. 

Then, we should determine whether to use a sine or a cosine function, based on the point where x=0.

Finally, we should determine the parameters of the function's formula by considering all the above.
     
                      Determining the amplitude, midline, and period 

The midline intersection is at y=5 so this is the midline. 

The maximum point is 1 unit above the midline, so the amplitude is 1. 

The maximum point is π units to the right of the midline intersection, so the period is 4 * π.
 
                            Determining the type of function to use 

Since the graph intersects its midline at x=0, we should use thesine function and not the cosine function. 

This means there's no horizontal shift, so the function is of the form -

a sin(bx)+d

Since the midline intersection at x=0 is followed by a maximumpoint, we know that a > 0.

The amplitude is 1, so |a| = 1. Since a >0 we can conclude that a=1. 

The midline is y=5, so d=5. 

The period is 4π so b = 2π / 4π = 1/2 simplified.
