Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y=mx+b, 'm' is the slope of the line and 'b' is the y-intercept.

First, you should find the slope of the line. To do this, use the equation M=y2-y1/x2-x1. Using the two given points (3,6) and (8,4), you can solve for M.

M=4-6/8-3

M=-2/5 (-0.4 in decimal form)

Now, your equation is y=-0.4x+b

Next you must solve for b to find the y-intercept. You can do this by subbing one of the given points in for x and y.

Using the point (3,6):

y=-0.4x+b

6=-0.4(3)+b

6=-1.2+b

Isolate b:

6+1.2=b

b=7.2

And now you have the equation of the line!

y=-0.4x+7.2 (IN FRACTION FORM: y=-2/5x+36/5)

Find the exponential function P(t)=P0a^t where P(2)=5 and P(4)=10

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$P(t)=\frac{5}{2} \cdot (\sqrt{2})^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(2)=5$ meants when $t=2$ , that the value for $P(t)$ is 5.

So this gives us this equation:

$5=P_0 \cdot a^2$

$P(4)=10$ meants when $t=4$ , that the value for $P(t)$ is 10.

So this gives us this equation:

$10=P_0 \cdot a^4$

So I take equation 2 and divide it be equation 1 I get:

$\frac{10}{5}=\frac{P_0 \cdot a_4}{P_0 \cdot a_2}$

Simplifying:

$2=a^2$

Since the base for an exponential function can't be negative then $a=\sqrt{2}$ .

So plugging into one of my equations I began with gives me an equation to solve for the initial value, $P_0$ :

$5=P_0 \cdot (\sqrt{2})^2$

$5=P_0 \cdot 2$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{5}{2}=P_0$

The function is:

$P(t)=\frac{5}{2} \cdot (\sqrt{2})^t$

What is 1,000,000 written as a power with a base of 10?

seropon [69]

Answer:

101=10 101=1

106=1,000,000 (one million) 10-5=0.00001 (one hundred thousandth)

107=10,000,000 (ten million) 10-6=0.000001 (one millionth)

108=100,000,000 (one hundred million) 10-7=0.0000001 (one ten millionth)
