Answer:

  y = 5·4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), whose relationship can be described by the exponential function ...

  y = a·b^x

you can find the values of 'a' and 'b' as follows.

Substitute the given points:

  y1 = a·b^(x1)

  y2 = a·b^(x1)

Divide the second equation by the first:

  y2/y1 = ((ab^(x2))/(ab^(x1)) = b^(x2 -x1)

Take the inverse power (root):

  (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1) = b

Use this value of 'b' to find 'a'. Here, we have solved the first equation for 'a'.

  a = y1/(b^(x1))

In summary:

  • b = (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1))
  • a = y1·b^(-x1)

__

For the problem at hand, (x1, y1) = (2, 80) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5120).

  b = (5120/80)^(1/(5-2)) = ∛64 = 4

  a = 80·4^(-2) = 80/16 = 5

The exponential function is ...

  y = 5·4^x

Danny's Bike Shop sells a certain model of racing bike for $550. The same bike can be bought at a competing shop for 7 percent l
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

$511.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Selling price of bike at Danny´s shop is $550

           Bike is sold 7% less at competitor´s shop.

Lets find the discounted amount at Danny´s competitor shop.

∴ \frac{7}{100} \times 550 = \$ 38.5

Now, finding the cost of bike at Danny´s competitor.

Cost of bike at Danny´competitor= (\textrm{Price at dannys shop - discount provided by competitor})

Cost of bike at Danny´s competitor= 550-38.5= \$511.5

∴ Cost of bike at Danny´s competitor is $511.5.

Algebra 2...can someone tell me how to do this???
crimeas [40]

Use the 2 dots on the line located at (0,1) and (-3,0).


The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:


Change in Y = 0-1 = -1

Change in X = -3 - 0 = -3

Slope = -1 / -3 = 1/3

They intercept in this case is Y1 which = 1.


The equation is y = 1/3x + 1
