The formula for an exponential equation is y = a * b^x with a and b being a fixed value.
"a" would also be the Y intercept, which is where the graph touches or crosses the Y axis. In the given graph, the curved line touches the Y axis at 100, so the value of a would be 100.
Now we need to find b.
The blue dot at Y 50 is lined up with x = 1, so we can use the point (1,50)
Using the X and Y values we can solve for b:
format: y = a * b^x we replace the letters with the numbers above:
50 = 100 * b^1
b^1 = b so now we have:
50 = 100 *b
Divide both sides by 100 to get b by itself:
b = 50/100, which reduces to 1/2, so b = 1/2
So the equation of the graph becomes y = 100(1/2)^x
You may need to write the 1/2 as 0.5, not sure how you need to enter it.
your answer would be -2.57142857143
Answer:
17.5 for perpendicular triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
A= 1/2 ( b*h )
A= 1/2 ( 7*5)
A= 1/2 ( 35)
A= 17.5
Answer:
31.5 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
If Mel uses all 30 litres of yellow paint, then:
5 / 2 = 30 / x
5x = 60
x = 12
Mel would need 12 litres of blue paint, but she only has 9 litres. So the amount of yellow paint she needs is:
5 / 2 = x / 9
2x = 45
x = 22.5
Mel will use 22.5 litres of yellow paint with 9 litres of blue paint to make a total of 31.5 litres of green paint.
