Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

<span>

Answer:
-2x-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The numbers of teams remaining in each round follows a geometric sequence.
Let a be the first the of the geometric sequence and r be the common ration.
The
term of geometric sequence is given by:


Dividing the two equations, we get,

the first term can be calculated as:

Thus, the required geometric sequence is

Answer:
The unit rate in miles per hour = <em>1.4 miles/hr</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance walked by Boardman family = Two over five of a mile = 
Time taken by Boardman family = Two over seven of an hour = 
To find:
The unit rate in the miles per hour = ?
Solution:
Formula for the rate or the speed can be given as:

Putting the values:

So, the unit rate in miles per hour = <em>1.4 miles/hr</em>
Answer:
Its B
