An exponential function can be expressed as:
y=ab^x we have two points so we can solve
64/8=(ab^4)/(ab^1)
8=b^3
2=b, now we have:
y=a(2^x), using point (4,64)
64=a(2^4)
64=16a
4=a so
y=4(2^x)
I think its not a correct solution of given equations.
The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.
Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories) means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.
Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct
Answer: Length of AB is 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Diameter of a circle is 20 cm and CE = 4 cm
Now as shown in figure AO, BO, CO are radii

Therefore
AO=BO=CO= 10 cm
Now

Now in Δ OEB
∠OEB =90°
Therefore by Pythagoras theorem : In a right angle triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.
So we have

Now as we know perpendicular to the chord from the center of a circle bisect the chord.
Therefore

Hence , the length of AB is 16 cm .
