You applied the rule improperly. When dividing exponents, you subtract the exponent of the denominator <em>from</em> the exponent of the numerator, not the other way around. The exponent you should have gotten was 
Answer:
y=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2y-6=-1
add 6 to negative 1 so that the 2y is all by itself
2y=5
divide 5 by 2
y=2.5
Answer:
Reminder that is this form a(b)^x where a > 0
When b > 0 but < 1 that is a decay function
When b > 1 than its a growth function
Step-by-step explanation:
So following this you can figure out the answer
g(x)=0.3(x)
this is neither since there is no exponent (linear)
H=72(56)^t
this is growth since b = 56
A=(43)^t
this is growth since b = 43 ("a" is understood as "1")
H=5.9(0.82)^t
this is decay since b = 0.82
y=0.8(3.6)^t
this is growth since b = 3.6
f(t)=0.72(15)^t
this is growth since b = 14
A=49(8)^t
this is growth since b = 8
Fraction of girls = 1 - 3/7 = 4/7
4/7 is equivalent to 72 girls
1/7 .. .. ............. 72 / 4 = 18
Total number of children = 7/7 = 18*7 = 126 Answer
