Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The table shows a set of x and y values, thus showing a set of points we can use to find the equation.
1) First, find the slope by using two points and substituting their x and y values into the slope formula, 
. I chose (-3, 13) and (0,17), but any two points from the table will work. Use them for the formula like so:
Thus, the slope is 
.
2) Next, identify the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis. All points on the y-axis have a x value of 0. Thus, (0,17) must be the y-intercept of the line.
3) Finally, write an equation in slope-intercept form, or 
format. Substitute the 
and 
for real values.
The represents the slope of the equation, so substitute it for . The represents the y-value of the y-intercept, so substitute it for 17. This will give the following answer and equation:
Answer:
(10 x 10 18 times)(10 x 10 23 times) 
just as a note: when you multiply numbers with exponents and they both have the same base, all you have to do is add the exponents.
Ex: 
It was $6.00 per pound. So 2 pounds would be $12. But there is still that .6 of a pound left. If we know 1 pound costs $6, then we know 1/10th of a pound will cost $0.60. So 6 x .60 = 3.60. Add 12 and 3.60, and you get 15.60 for 2.6 pounds of granola at the old price.
First you need to make both bases the same:
Lets remove the ^p and ^4
To make the base of 42 equal to 41, you would have 41^x = 41
X - ln(42) / ln(41) = 1.00648904
Now you have 41^1.00648904(p) = 41^4
Now the bases are equal so we need to set the exponents to equal:
1.00648904(p) = 4
Divide both sides by 1.00648904 to solve for P
P = 4 / 1.00648904
P = 3.97421114
