5 skis and 8 skates
y=ski
x=skates
x=y+3
40y+50x=600
40y+50(y+3)=600
y=5
x=8

Let the number of pair of skis and skates bought be x and y respectively. So that,
40x+50y = 600

There are 3 more pairs of skates. Therefore,
y-3 = x=> y=x+3
Substituting,

40x+50(x+3) =600 => 40x+50x+150=600 => 90x=600-150 = 450
x= 450/90 = 5 pairs of skis
y= x+3 =5+3 = 8 pairs of skates

What function represents the pattern shown in the table?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Given:

The table of values of an exponential function.

To find:

The function for the given table of values.

Solution:

The general exponential function is:

y=ab^x        ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and b is growth factor.

From the given table it is clear that the function passes through the points (1,9) and (2,36). It means the function must be true for these two points.

9=ab^1        ...(ii)

36=ab^2       ...(iii)

On dividing (iii) by (ii), we get

\dfrac{36}{9}=\dfrac{ab^2}{ab}  

4=b  

Putting b=4 in (ii), we get

9=a(4)^1

\dfrac{9}{4}=a

Putting a=\dfrac{9}{4},b=4 in (i), we get

y=\dfrac{9}{4}(4)^x

y=9(4)^{x-1}

The function notation with variable n is:

f(n)=9(4)^{n-1}

Therefore, the correct option is D.
