Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given points into the function and solve for a and b
Using (2, 12)
12 = ab² → (1)
Using (5, 96)
96 = a
→ (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
= 
, that is
b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )
b = ![\sqrt[3]{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D)
= 2
Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a
12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
3 = a
Thus
y = 3 ← is the exponential function
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
