Answer:
If one of the data points has the form \displaystyle \left(0,a\right)(0,a), then a is the initial value. Using a, substitute the second point into the equation \displaystyle f\left(x\right)=a{\left(b\right)}^{x}f(x)=a(b)
x
, and solve for b.
If neither of the data points have the form \displaystyle \left(0,a\right)(0,a), substitute both points into two equations with the form \displaystyle f\left(x\right)=a{\left(b\right)}^{x}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 \displaystyle f\left(x\right)=a{\left(b\right)}^{x}f(x)=a(b)
x
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price:
6(3.5)
21
New Price:
1.15(21)
24.15
24.15-21
$3.15 more
Because it has two equal sides
The width is 11.
You can get this by setting up an equation that says:
x (x - 3) = 154
Then distribute and use the quadratic equation to solve.
