Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the exponential function is,
y = a(b)ˣ
Since the graph of this function passes through two points 
and (3, -1)
For the point ,
---------(1)
For second point (3, -1),
-1 = a(b)³ ---------(2)
Divide equation (2) by equation (1),
= 
From equation (2)
-1 = 
-1 = 
a = 8
Therefore, equation of the exponential function will be,
y =
Whole-wheat bread = $2.06/lb
We need the cost of 3.8 lbs of whole-wheat bread.
So, we simply need to multiply the cost with the amount needed.
(cost per pound) × (amount of bread)
($2.06) × (3.8)
Simplify.
$7.828
Round to the nearest tenths.
$7.83
So, 3.8 pounds of whole wheat bread costs $7.83

Answer:
B (5, 13)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 4y = 97
9x + 6y = 123
To solve by elimination, we want to <em>eliminate</em> a variable. To do this, we must make one variable cancel out.
First, we can see that both equations have 9x. To cancel out x, we must make <em>one</em> of the 9x's <em>negative</em>. To do this, multiply <em>each term</em> in the equation by -1.
-1(9x + 6y = 123)
-9x - 6y = -123
This is one of your equations. Set it up with your other given equation.
9x + 4y = 97
-9x - 6y = -123
Imagine this is one equation. Since every term is negative, you will be subtracting each term.
9x + 4y = 97
-9x - 6y = -123
___________
0x -2y = -26
-2y = -26
To isolate y further, divide both sides by -2.
y = 13
Now, to find x, plug y back into one of the original equations.
9x + 4(13) = 97
Multiply.
9x + 52 = 97
Subtract.
9x = 45
Divide.
x = 5
Check your answer by plugging both variables into the equation you have not used yet.
-9(5) - 6(13) = -123
-45 - 78 = -123
-123 = -123
Your answer is correct!
