Answer:

\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{Hours} & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4}& {5} & {6} & {7} \ \\ {Persons} & {1} & {2} & {4} & {8} & {16}& {32} & {64} & {128} \ \end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Solving (a): Complete the table

Let

x = hours

y = persons

From the table question, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (0,1)

(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)

(x_3,y_3) = (2,4)

The pattern follows that, an increment in x by doubles the value of 1.

So, the other values are:

(x_4,y_4) = (3,8)

(x_5,y_5) = (4,16)

(x_6,y_6) = (5,32)

(x_7,y_7) = (6,64)

(x_8,y_8) = (7,128)

So, the complete table is:

\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{Hours} & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4}& {5} & {6} & {7} \ \\ {Persons} & {1} & {2} & {4} & {8} & {16}& {32} & {64} & {128} \ \end{array}

Solving (b): The graph

The table follows an exponential function:

y = ab^x

We have: (x_1,y_1) = (0,1)

This gives:

y = ab^x

1 = ab^0

b^0 \to 1

So:

1 = a*1

1 = a

a =1

Also: (x_5,y_5) = (4,16)

This gives:

y = ab^x

16 = 1 * b^4

16 = b^4

16 \to 2^4

So:

2^4 = b^4

Cancel the exponents (4)

2 =b

b = 2

So, the function y = ab^x is:

y = 2^x

Write the equation (in point-slope form) for the line parallel to y = x + 4 and passes
Tanya [424]

Answer:

y = x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Write the equation in point-slope form</u>

Point Slope Form:  y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)

<u>Plug in the numbers and solve</u>

<u />y - (-2) = 1(x - 5)

y + 2 = x - 5

y + 2 - 2 = x - 5 - 2

y = x-7

Answer:  y = x-7

X^2+ 3 has a value of 28. What term in the sequence has a value of 28?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

5th term

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +3 = 28

Subtract 3 from each side

x^2+3-3 =28-3

x^2 = 25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(25)

x = 5

(x could be -5, but there are not usually negative terms in a sequence)
