Answer:
No, none of the number need to be 48 for the mean to be 48. To get a mean, you add up all the number and divide it by the amount of numbers.
Example:
the mean of 10, 79, 42, 88, 19, and 50 is 48, but the actual number 48 was not part of the set.
10 + 79 + 42 + 88 + 19 + 50 = 288
288 ÷ 6 = 48
Answer:
y = 17(2)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
If the graph of y = ab^x goes through (0, 17), then
17 = ab*0, or a = 17
Then the function is y = ab^x with a = 17, or
y = 17*b^x and we must find b.
If the graph of y = 17*b^x also goes through (6, 1088), then the following must be true: 1088 = 17*b^6
which reduces to 64 = b^6
Taking the sixth root of both sides, we get 64^(1/6) = b, and so b = 2
Then the desired exponential function is
y = 17(2)^x
