Answer:

a = 9, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function is

y = a $b^{x}$

Find a and b by using the points it passes through

Using (0, 9 ) then

9 = a $b^{0}$ ( $b^{0}$ = 1 )

a = 9

y = 9 $b^{x}$

Using (3, 243 ) then

243 = 9b³ ( divide both sides by 9 )

27 = b³ ( take the cube root of both sides )

b = $\sqrt[3]{27}$ = 3

y = 9 $(3)^{x}$ ← exponential equation

5 pounds of bananas for $1.97 for 3 pounds of bananas for $1.05 which is better to buy

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

<h3>3 pounds for $1.05 is better since it is 35 cents a pound as opposed to 39 cents a pound for the other product.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the unit rate. This found by dividing the price by the number of bananas so we get the price for 1 pound of bananas.

$1.97/5 = $0.39

$1.05/3 = $0.35

<h3>3 pounds for $1.05 is better since it is 35 cents a pound as opposed to 39 cents a pound for the other product.</h3>

2(a-3)÷(a-4)(a-5)+a-1÷(3-a)(a-4)+a-2÷(5-a)(a-3) simplify.

Arlecino [84]

<u><em>I'm almost confident that I did this wrong, but i tried...</em></u>

Answer:

4a-9 ÷ -19

Step-by-step explanation:

(It was easier for me to put it in fractions)

$\frac{2(a-3)}{(a-4)(a-5)}$ + $\frac{a-1}{(3-a)(a-4)}$ + $\frac{a-2}{(5-a)(a-3)}$ (3-a) (a-4) + (5-a) (a-3)

$\frac{2a-6}{(a-4)(a-5)}$ + $\frac{a-1}{(3-a)(a-4)}$ + $\frac{a-2}{(5-a)(a-3)}$ 3 - a · a - 4 + 5 - a · a - 3

$\frac{2a-6}{(2a-20)}$ + $\frac{a-1}{(3-a)(a-4)}$ + $\frac{a-2}{(5-a)(a-3)}$ 3 - a + 1 - a - 3

$\frac{2a-6+a-1+a-2}{(2a-20)+(3-a)(a-4)+(5-a)(a-3)}$ 1 - a - a

$\frac{4a-9}{2a-20+1-2a}$ 1 - 2a

$\frac{4a-9}{2a-19-2a}$

$\frac{4a-9}{-19}$

Given: Q = 7m + 3n, R = 11 - 2m, S = n + 5, and T = -m - 3n + 8.

Margarita [4]

If you would like to simplify Q + S - T, you can do this using the following steps:<span>

Q = 7m + 3n,
R = 11 - 2m,
S = n + 5,
T = -m - 3n + 8

</span>Q + S - T = 7m + 3n + n + 5 - (-m - 3n + 8) = 7m + 3n + n + 5 + m + 3n - 8 = 8m + 7n - 3

The correct result would be <span>8m + 7n - 3.</span>
