<span>C. The number of cups of hot chocolate sold. </span>
Answer a = 5 and b = 2.
Procedure
Initially means x = 0, then
5 = a*b^0 = a*1 = a, then a = 5
When x = 1, the height is the double of 5, i.e 10 and
10 = a.b^1 = a.b ⇒ b = 10/a = 10/5 = 2
The a = 5 and b = 2, so the equation is y =5(2)^x
Answer:
here,
3( x + 5 ) = 3• x+ 3 • 5 uses the distributive property correctly.
