Given:

f(x) is an exponential function.

f(-3.5)=25, f(6)=33

To find:

The value of f(6.5).

Solution:

Let the exponential function is

f(x)=ab^x         ...(i)

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

We have, f(-3.5)=25. So, put x=-3.5 and f(x)=25 in (i).

25=ab^{-3.5}         ...(ii)

We have, f(6)=33. So, put x=6 and f(x)=33 in (i).

33=ab^{6}         ...(iii)

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

\dfrac{33}{25}=\dfrac{ab^{6}}{ab^{-3.5}}

1.32=b^{9.5}

(1.32)^{\frac{1}{9.5}}=b

1.0296556=b

b\approx 1.03

Putting b=1.03 in (iii), we get

33=a(1.03)^{6}

33=a(1.194)

\dfrac{33}{1.194}=a

a\approx 27.63

Putting a=27.63 and b=1.03 in (i), we get

f(x)=27.63(1.03)^x

Therefore, the required exponential function is f(x)=27.63(1.03)^x.

Find the least common multiple of: 12x^3y^2 and 15x^2y^5
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: 60x^3y^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Least Common Multiple :The least positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

To find : The least common multiple of: 12x^3y^2 and 15x^2y^5.

Since, 12x^3y^2=2\times2\times3\times x^3y^2

15x^2y^5=3\times5\times x^2y^5

The least common multiple of: 12x^3y^2 and 15x^2y^5. = 2\times2\times3\times5\times x^3y^5=60x^3y^5 [take highest power of x and y ]

Hence, the least common multiple of: 12x^3y^2 and 15x^2y^5. = 60x^3y^5

Given the function g(x) = 8x − 2, compare and contrast g(−2) and g(4). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two va
Anit [1.1K]
G(-2) = 8(-2) -2 = -16 - 2 = -18 
g(4) = 8*(4) - 2 =  32 - 2 = 30 
 as you can see 30 is greater than -18 so the answer is C
