Answer:

If one of the data points has the form  

(

0

,

a

)

, then a is the initial value. Using a, substitute the second point into the equation  

f

(

x

)

=

a

(

b

)

x

, and solve for b.

If neither of the data points have the form  

(

0

,

a

)

, substitute both points into two equations with the form  

f

(

x

)

=

a

(

b

)

x

. Solve the resulting system of two equations in two unknowns to find a and b.

Using the a and b found in the steps above, write the exponential function in the form  

f

(

x

)

=

a

(

b

)

.

EXAMPLE 3: WRITING AN EXPONENTIAL MODEL WHEN THE INITIAL VALUE IS KNOWN

In 2006, 80 deer were introduced into a wildlife refuge. By 2012, the population had grown to 180 deer. The population was growing exponentially. Write an algebraic function N(t) representing the population N of deer over time t.

SOLUTION

We let our independent variable t be the number of years after 2006. Thus, the information given in the problem can be written as input-output pairs: (0, 80) and (6, 180). Notice that by choosing our input variable to be measured as years after 2006, we have given ourselves the initial value for the function, a = 80. We can now substitute the second point into the equation

Estimate the products of 79 × 37 and 62 × 49 . Which choice shows the sum of the estimates?
klio [65]

Answer:

Sue of estimates = 6200

Step-by-step explanation:

79\times37 can be estimated as 80\times 40 which is =3200

Similarly 62\times49 can be estimated as 60\times 50 which is =3000

∴ Sum of estimates = 3200+3000=6200

Whats the answer to 8p squared minus 16 p=10
goblinko [34]
8p² - 16p = 10

8p² - 16p - 10 = 0      Divide through by 2

4p² - 8p - 5 = 0

Multiply first and last coefficients:  4*-5 = -20

We look for two numbers that multiply to give -20, and add to give -8

Those two numbers are 2 and -10.

Check:   2*-10 = -20         2 + -10 = -8

We replace the middle term of -8p in the quadratic expression with 2p -10p


 4p² - 8p - 5 = 0     

4p² + 2p - 10p - 5 = 0     

2p(2p + 1) - 5(2p + 1) = 0

(2p + 1)(2p - 5) = 0

2p + 1 = 0    or   2p + 5 = 0

2p = 0 -1              2p = 0 - 5

2p = -1                    2p = -5

p = -1/2                    p = -5/2

The solutions are p = -1/2  or  -5/2

f(x)=x^2; vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2 and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down​
NeX [460]

The image of the function f(x) after vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2

and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down​

is g(x) = \frac{1}{2} x² - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise:

1. The vertical shrink

A vertical shrinking is the squeezing of the graph toward the x-axis.

if 0 < k < 1 (a fraction), the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically

shrunk by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k

2. The reflection

If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is g(x) = f(-x)

3. Vertical translation

If the function f(x) translated vertically up  by m units, then its image

is g(x) = f(x) + m

If the function f(x) translated vertically down  by m units, then its image

is g(x) = f(x) - m

Now let us solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x²

∵ f(x) shrunk by a factor of \frac{1}{2}

∴ The image of f(x) = \frac{1}{2} x²

∵ The image of f(x) reflected across y-axis

∴ The sign of x will change

∴ The new image of f(x) = \frac{1}{2} (-x)²

∵ The new image of f(x) translated 1 unit down

∴ We will subtract the new image of f(x) by 1

∴ The last image of f(x) is g(x) = \frac{1}{2} (-x)² - 1

<em>V.I.Note:</em>

(-x)² = x² because even exponents reject the negative sign

The image of the function f(x) after vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2

and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down​

is g(x) = \frac{1}{2} x² - 1
