Subtract the equations straight down. So we'll subtract the x terms together
5x - 5x = 0x = 0
meaning the x terms effectively go away after subtraction
Then we do the y terms together in the same exact order
y-3y = -2y
Then finally the right hand side values
6 - (-5) = 6+5 = 11
All of that work done indicates we have 0x-2y = 11 which is the same as -2y = 11. Divide both sides by -2 and we end up with y = -11/2
This answer isn't listed so I'm thinking there's a typo your teacher made somewhere.
$40,000
Let x be the sales amount.
600+0.02x=1000+0.01x
x=$40,000
Your first point would be on (0, 2), the vertex. Then, put a point on (-2, 22). Hope that helps!
Short answer: I don't know, but that doesn't mean I can't give you something that you can decide for yourself.
y = 4*2^(2n - 2) is the pattern.
Go for broke. Try n = 4. You should get 256. Let's try it.
y = 4 * 2^(2*4 - 2)
y = 4 * 2^(8 - 2)
y = 4 * 2^6
y = 4 * 64
y = 256 yup it works.
The other end is just as important. Suppose n = 1
Then y = 4 * 2^(2*1 - 2) = 4 * 2^0 = 4*1 = 4 Both work.
If this formula is correct, we can abbreviate it to make your task easier.
y = 4 * 2^(2n - 2)
y = 2^2 * 2^(2n - 2)
y = 2^(2n - 2 + 2)
y = 2^(2n) Now try the two end points again.
n = 4
y = 2^(2*4)
y = 2^8
y = 256
n = 1
y = 2^(2*1)
y = 2^2
y = 4 which again checks.
so y = 2^(2n) I think is an exponential function.
Sorry my explanation is so long.
