This graph has a horizontal asymptote so it is an exponential graph. It also passes through two points (0,-2) and (1,3). The horizontal asymptote is at y=-3.
The unchanged exponential equation is y=a(b)^x +k
For exponential equations, k is always equal to the horizontal asymptote, so k=-3.
You can check this with the ordered pair (0,-2). After that plug in the other ordered pair, (1,3).
This gives you 3=a(b)^1 or 3=ab. If you know the base the answer is simple as you just solve for a.
If you don't know the base at this point you have to sort of guess. For example, let's say both a and b are whole numbers. In that case b would have to be 3, as it can't be 1 since then the answer never changes, and a is 1. Then choose an x-value and not exact corresponding y-value. In this case x=-1 and y= a bit less than -2.75. Plug in the values to your "final" equation of y=(3)^x -3.
So -2.75=(3^-1)-3.
3^-1 is 1/3, 1/3-3 is -8/3 or -2.6667 which is pretty close to -2.75. So we can say the final equation is y=3^x -3.
Hope this helps! It's a lot easier to solve problems like these given either more points which you can use system of equations with, or with a given base or slope.
Answer:
a+b+c=180
Step-by-step explanation:
If you already have the first 2 values, add them together and subtract that number from 180. The total of all angles added together should always equal 180.
f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 1
g(x) = -(1/4) ( x - 4)^2 + 4
both the x and y values have to be the same. Start with the y values
f(x) = g(x)
(x - 4)^2 - 1 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 4 Add 1 to both sides.
(x - 4)^2 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 5 Add 1/4(x - 4)^2 to both sides.
(5/4) (x - 4)^2 = 5 Divide by 5/4 on both sides.
(x - 4)^2 = 5//(5/4)
(x - 4)^2 = (5/1)//5/4 Invert the second fraction and multiply
(x - 4)^2 = 5/1 * 4/5
(x - 4)^2 = 4 The 5s cancel
(x - 4)^2 = 4 Take the square root of both sides.
(x - 4) = +/- 2 Add 4 to each answer. Start with +2 on the right.
x - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4
x = 4 + 2 = 6
The x value that makes f(x)- g(x) = 0 is x = 6 The point is (6,3) answer.
Answer C.
================================================
You do not need this next part. It is just for completeness.
x - 4 = - 2
x = 4 -2
x = 2
What are the y values for these 2 x values?
y = (x - 4)^2 - 1
y = (6 - 4)^2 - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
The point where f(x) - g(x) = 0 is (6,3) <<<<<< Answer 1
The second point is
y = (x - 4)^2 - 1
y = (2 - 4)^2 - 1
y = (-2)^2 - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
The second point is (2,3). Answer 2
Note the y values are the same. You might expect that.
Again this is a simple addition problem I think.
Add 3.6+4.705+5.92=
14.225 kilometers that Andrea ran over the three days.
Hope this helps, have a good day. c;
