Answer:
1. B. a=14, b=2
2. D. a=1, b=1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth function can be represented as

where b is the growth factor.
1. When the function has equation

then

The initial amount is the value of the function at x=0:

The growth factor is b=2
2. When the function has equation

then

The initial amount is the value of the function at t=0:

The growth factor is b=1.4
THis will be the coordinates of the point at a turning point on the graph.
Since the second derivative is positive (=1) it will be a minimum value of f(x).
Answer:
9d + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(6d + 5) - (2 - 3d)
= (6d - (-3 d))+ (5 - 2)
= (6d + 3d) + 3
= 9d + 3
