Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 3 is a horizontal line with slope zero (0).

We wish to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3. Such a line would be a vertical one. Vertical lines do not have slopes defined (due to division by zero).

Thus the general form of the equation of this new line is x = c.

This new line passes through (24, -56). Thus, x must be 24: x = 24

Which exponential function is represented by the values in the table?

svlad2 [7]

Here we use the equation

$y = a(b)^x$

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)

Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

$4 = a(b)^0
\\
4 = a(1) \\
a =4$

Substituting (1,2) we will get

$2 = 4 (b)^1
\\
2/4 = b
\\
b = 1/2$

So we have

$a = 4, b = 1/2$

Therefore , required equation is

$y = 4(1/2)^x$
