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,
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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 5/6x - 5.167
Or
y = 5/6x - 31/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line
y = mx + c
Step 1: find the slope
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Given points
( 0 , -7) ( 5 , -1)
x1 = 0
y1 = -7
x2 = 5
y2 = -1
Insert the values into the equation
m = -1 - (-7) / 5 - 0
m = -1 + 7 / 5
m = 6/5
y = 6/5x + c
Step 2: sub any of the two points given into the equation
y = 5/6x + c
( 5 , -1)
x = 5
y = -1
-1 = 5/6(5) + c
-1 = 5*5/6 + c
-1 = 25/6 + c.
c = -1 - 25/6
LCM = 6
c = -6 - 25 / 6
c = -31/6
c = -5.167
Step 3: sub c into the equation
y = 5/6x + c
y = 5/6x - 31/6
Or
y = 5/6x - 5.167
The equation of the line is
y = 5/6x - 5.167
Multiply 80 by 14 to get how many total people they can feed.
80 times 14 is 1120.
Now, divide 1120 by 32 to get how many days the food will last if 32 people come every day.
1120/32 = 35.
The answer is B, 35 days
