No, because if you substitute (4, -2) into x and y in each equation, they are not the same as the value on the right side of the equation.
2(4) + 4(-2) = - 2
8 + -8 = -2
0 = -2 <---- this is not correct.
-4(4) + -2 = -14
-16 + -2 = -14
-18 = -14 <----- this is not correct.
Answer:
1,000,000= 10^6
10 times 10 is 100 (10^2)
10,000 times 10 is 100,000 (10^5)
Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
