Answer:
(D) 
Step-by-step explanation:
One could run this on a computer and verify the best fit through brute force. The more elegant way is, as usual, to think: What are special values of x for an exponential function? Zero, for starters - anything to the power of zero is 1. The function value for x=0 in the table is 10. Which choices A through D are close to 10 for x=0? Well, (C) and (D), the rest is too far. Next, what is the function value for the next easy one, x=1? The table says 30. Which of (C) and (D) is close to 30 for x = 1. It turns out we can safely exclude (C) because 10.84*1.77 is about 19 and that's way too far from 30. Let's check (D): 8.46*3.51=29.7 - that's quite close. Since there is no other candidate left, I bet my money on (D). Feel free to verify closeness for the other values of x if you are unconvinced yet.
first off, is noteworthy that's the graph of an exponential function, thus the function will be along the lines of g(x) = abˣ , now, what's "a" and "b" values?
well, let's take a peek when x = 0 and x = 1.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1: C
1 multiplied by 5 = 5
1 plus 5 = 6
So you get: (x+5)(x+1) which means x = -5 or -1
Question 2: B
2 multiplied by -4 = - 8
2 plus -4 = -2
So you get: (x-4)(x+2) which means x = 4 or -2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
lets say the cost for a pound is 2$
if the watermelon weighs 3 pounds it would cost $6.
2(3)
The weight is the variable in the parenthesis because that is what is constantly changing.
The answer is D. The number of AP tests increases as GPA increases.
