Question

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(-1.5)=26 and f(5.5)=7 then find the value of f(10), to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer:

5.0956537e-46

Step-by-step explanation:

^ means root

* means multiply

f(x) = ab^x

f(-1.5)=26 = ab^-1.5

f(5.5)=7 = ab^5.5

f(5.5)/f(-1.5) = 26/7 = ab^5.5/ab^-1.5

3.714 = b^7

b = 3.714^-7

f(-1.5)=26 = ab^-1.5

26 = ab^-1.5

26 = a * 3.714^-7

a = 3.714^-7 / 26

a = 0.00000394578

f(10) = ab^10

f(10) = 0.00000394578 * (3.714^-7)^10

f(10) = 5.0956537e-46
