Answer:
A)

B)

C)

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:

A)
Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find <em>k</em>.
h(1) = 20 means that <em>h</em>(x) = 20 when <em>x</em> = 1. Substitute:

Simplify:

Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:

B)
Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2<em>k</em> + 1.
Likewise, this means that <em>h</em>(x) = 40 when <em>x</em> = 1. Substitute:

Simplify:

We can take the natural log of both sides:

By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:

Therefore:

C)
Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find <em>k</em> - 3.
Again, this meas that <em>h</em>(x) = 10 when <em>x</em> = 1. Substitute:

Simplfy:

Take the natural log of both sides:

Therefore:

Therefore:

After the tax and the tip are counted, we conclude that each friend must pay $30.
<h3>How much should each person pay?</h3>
We know that the meal cost is $72.50.
Now, there is a 6.75% sales tax and a 15% tip on the waiter (we assume that the tip is based on the total meal cost, after the tax is applied).
Then the total meal cost is:
C = $72.50*( 1 + 6.75%/100%) = $72.50*(1 + 0.0675) = $77.39
Now we also need to add the tip, which is a 15% of that, so the total cost with the tip included is:
C' = $77.39*(1 + 15%/100%) = $88.998 = $90
(Where we rounded up).
Then, if there are 3 friends, each one must pay:
$90/3 = $30
Each friend must pay $30.
