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.

Round 963 to 1 significant figure.
dedylja [7]
963 would be rounded to become 1000.
This is because 9 is the first non-zero number and so since there are only going to be 1 significant figures, the 9 would round up or down. There is a 6 after the 9, so it rounds up to 10, making it 1000.
