Given:
The function is

To find:
The missing values for a, b, and c in the given table.
Solution:
We have,

At x=-2,

![\left[\because \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-n}=\left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{n}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbecause%20%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7B-n%7D%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7Bb%7D%7Ba%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7Bn%7D%5Cright%5D)

At x=-1,

![\left[\because \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-n}=\left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{n}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbecause%20%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7B-n%7D%3D%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7Bb%7D%7Ba%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7Bn%7D%5Cright%5D)

At x=0,

![\left[\because a^0=1, a\neq 0\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbecause%20a%5E0%3D1%2C%20a%5Cneq%200%5Cright%5D)
Therefore, the missing values of a,b and c are 9, 3, and 1 respectively.
Answer:
6 purses
Step-by-step explanation
1. Subtract 71 from 161 as that's how much Daniela needs to make to have 161, which is 90
2. Divide 15 by 90 as 15 is the profit, so the answer would be the amount of purses she needs to sell, then you get 6
Check
6 times 15, 90
71 + 90 = 161

(the ^3 means to the power of 3. aka cubed)
Answer:
10 pounds of potatoes would cost $15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up proportion.
4/6=10/x
simplify 4/6 into 2/3,
2/3=10/x
cross product,
2*x=3*10
2x=30
x=30/2
x=15
