The formula for an exponential equation is y = a * b^x with a and b being a fixed value.
"a" would also be the Y intercept, which is where the graph touches or crosses the Y axis. In the given graph, the curved line touches the Y axis at 100, so the value of a would be 100.
Now we need to find b.
The blue dot at Y 50 is lined up with x = 1, so we can use the point (1,50)
Using the X and Y values we can solve for b:
format: y = a * b^x we replace the letters with the numbers above:
50 = 100 * b^1
b^1 = b so now we have:
50 = 100 *b
Divide both sides by 100 to get b by itself:
b = 50/100, which reduces to 1/2, so b = 1/2
So the equation of the graph becomes y = 100(1/2)^x
You may need to write the 1/2 as 0.5, not sure how you need to enter it.
The linear equation represents y = mx + b describes several real world situations such as
- Relation between printer and ink cartridges,
- Relationship between number of songs and how much is left on the card.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Linear equations y = mx + b.
m is your rate of change.
b is your constant. This is the initial value of y. The value of y when x is 0.
Finally, y is the thing that depends on x.
Oh right, examples:
- I buy a printer for $100 and the ink cartridges cost $25 each. The relationship between ink cartridges and total cost.
total cost = 25(cartridges I buy) + 100 or y = 25x + 100
-
I get a $100 iTunes gift card for my birthday and then start buying $1 songs. The relationship between the number of songs I buy and how much is left on the card
amount left on card = -$1(songs bought) + 100 or y = -x +100
Equation: y = 3x
Final Answer: 3
Answer:
ASA
Step-by-step explanation:
You can show the angles at either end of segment BC in triangles MBC and LCB are congruent, so you have two angles and the segment between. The appropriate theorem in such a case is ASA.
