Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Select equivalent expression





Start by solving the given expression (using a calculator)

Then we solve the given options (using a calculator)










The equivalent expressions are (a) and (e)
The length of DE is 3 bc they are dilated at a ratio of 1 : 1.5
It would be 3 lbs apple because your are dividing
Answer a = 5 and b = 2.
Procedure
Initially means x = 0, then
5 = a*b^0 = a*1 = a, then a = 5
When x = 1, the height is the double of 5, i.e 10 and
10 = a.b^1 = a.b ⇒ b = 10/a = 10/5 = 2
The a = 5 and b = 2, so the equation is y =5(2)^x
