Since the variable x is at the exponent, this is an exponential function.
To decide whether an exponential function is a growing or decaying one, we have to look at the base of the exponent.
If the base is between 0 and 1, we have exponential decay
If the base is larger than 1, we have exponential growth.
In your case the base is 3, which is larger than 1, so you have exponential growth.
Thus, <u>option d</u> is your answer
No
5*x= x (correct)
5*1=5 (incorrect)
When I say correct or incorrect it means that it does/doesn’t match 5x+1
10. Kim gets $7 per hour and gets charged $1 for gloves
Use y to represent her pay and x to represent hours worked.
The equation is y = 7x - 1 because she gets 7 times x hours and there is a minus 1 because of the charge of gloves.
11. The table shows that each increasing hour, 8$ is added. Therefore we need to find the bonus that Kit receives just for showing up. This is when hours equals 0. If 3 hours is 27$ pay, then 2 hours is 19$ pay, 1 hour is 11$ pay and 0 hours is 3$ pay. We find that there is a 3$ bonus just for showing up.
Therefore the equation is y = 8x + 3
12. At x = 0, y = 2 so the y-intercept is 2. The slope is going down 4 and right one which means the slope is -4. The y-intercept is b and the slope is m. If we plug these values into the equation y = mx + b we get:
y = -4x + 2
13. At x = 0, y = -3 so the y-intercept is -3. The slope is going up 1 and right 4 which means the slope is 1/4. The y-intercept is b and the slope is m. If we plug these values into the equation y = mx + b we get:
y = 1/4 x - 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Put the initial height of ball 2 into the given formula. The problem statement tells you "h" stands for the initial height, and that height is 269 feet.

3/11 = 33/x
cross multiply
3x = 11 * 33
3x = 363
x = 363/3
x = 121 <===Snane's money
121 + 33 = 154 <== together they have $ 154
