Answer:

$f(10) = 1147.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(-1.5) = 26$

$f(5.5) = 7$

Required

f(10)

An exponential function is represented as:

$f(x) = ab^x$

$f(-1.5) = 26$ impleies that:

$26 = ab^{-1.5}$ --- (1)

$f(5.5) = 7$ implies that

$7 = ab^{5.5}$ --- (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

$26/7 = ab^{-1.5}/ab^{5.5}$

$3.71429 = b^{-1.5+5.5}$

$3.71429 = b^{4}$

Take 4th root

$b = 1.39$

Substitute $b = 1.39$ in $26 = ab^{-1.5}$

$26 = a * 1.39^{-1.5}$

$26 = a * 0.6102$

Solve for (a)

$a = 26/0.6102$

$a = 42.61$

f(10) is calculated as:

$f(10) = ab^{10}$

$f(10) = 42.61 * 1.39^{10}$

$f(10) = 1147.25$

Lou wants to make a coffee mixture to sell. He is going to mix Sumatra coffee which costs $2.50 per pound with Columbian coffee

Scilla [17]

To answer this question you need to create 2 equations:
S+C=50
2.50S+3.75C=3.35*(50)
S=50-C -so now you can plug in S into the second equation
2.50*(50-C)+3.75C=167.5
Now you just need to solve this equation, the final answer will be 34 pounds of colombian coffee and 16 pounds of sumatra coffee

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Switch sides:

2x−9=17

Add 9 to both sides:

2x−9+9=17+9

Simplify

2x=26

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 =26/2

Simplify to get the result.

x=13
