Answer:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Explanation:
An exponential function is in the general form
y
=
a
(
b
)
x
We know the points
(
−
1
,
8
)
and
(
1
,
2
)
, so the following are true:
8
=
a
(
b
−
1
)
=
a
b
2
=
a
(
b
1
)
=
a
b
Multiply both sides of the first equation by
b
to find that
8
b
=
a
Plug this into the second equation and solve for
b
:
2
=
(
8
b
)
b
2
=
8
b
2
b
2
=
1
4
b
=
±
1
2
Two equations seem to be possible here. Plug both values of
b
into the either equation to find
a
. I'll use the second equation for simpler algebra.
If
b
=
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
1
2
)
a
=
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
If
b
=
−
1
2
:
2
=
a
(
−
1
2
)
a
=
−
4
Giving us the equation:
y
=
−
4
(
−
1
2
)
x
However! In an exponential function,
b
>
0
, otherwise many issues arise when trying to graph the function.
The only valid function is
y
=
4
(
1
2
)
x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x + 2x + 2 = 9x + 4
9x - 5x - 2x = 2 - 4
9x - 7x = - 2
2x = - 2
x = - 2 / 2
Therefore x = -1.

Answer:
The cost of a school banquet is $75+30n, where n is the number of people attending.
If 53 people are attending to visit school banquet, then you have to find the value of given expression at n=53.
At n=53, the value is $(75+30·53)=$1,665.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 0.6435 radians
b) 80.1 feet/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 75 = (50²/16)sin(theta)cos(theta)
sin(theta)cos(theta) = 0.48
2sin(theta)cos(theta) = 0.96
sin(2theta) = 0.96
2theta = 1.287002218
Theta = 0.6435011088 radians
b) 200 = (v²/16)sin(0.75)cos(0.75)
6416.072347 = v²
v = 80.10038918 feet/sec
