If f ( x ) f(x) is an exponential function where f ( − 3.5 ) = 25 f(−3.5)=25 and f ( 6 ) = 33 f(6)=33, then find the value of f ( 6.5 ) f(6.5), to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Given:

f(x) is an exponential function.

f(-3.5)=25, f(6)=33

To find:

The value of f(6.5).

Solution:

Let the exponential function is

f(x)=ab^x         ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

We have, f(-3.5)=25. So, put x=-3.5 and f(x)=25 in (i).

25=ab^(-3.5)         ...(ii)

We have, f(6)=33. So, put x=6 and f(x)=33 in (i).

33=ab^(6)         ...(iii)

On dividing (iii) by (ii), we get

(33)/(25)=(ab^(6))/(ab^(-3.5))

1.32=b^(9.5)

(1.32)^{(1)/(9.5)}=b

1.0296556=b

b\approx 1.03

Putting b=1.03 in (iii), we get

33=a(1.03)^(6)

33=a(1.194)

(33)/(1.194)=a

a\approx 27.63

Putting a=27.63 and b=1.03 in (i), we get

f(x)=27.63(1.03)^x

Therefore, the required exponential function is f(x)=27.63(1.03)^x.

Answers

since square base, legth=width=5

twice of 12=24 so the heighs are 12 and 24

V=LWH

V1=5*5*12=300
V2=5*5*24=600

total volume=300+600=900 in^3

Simplify the expression 18 + 12xa 2 (9 + 5x )
b 3(6 +3x)
c 6 ( 3 + x)
d (3 + 2x)

Answers

Answer:

c:) 6(3 + 2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 18 + 12x. To simplify this expression, we can first look for any common factors that can be factored out. In this case, we can factor out 6, which gives:

18 + 12x = 6(3 + 2x)

So, the simplified expression 18 + 12x is 6(3 + 2x).

Answer:

C) Rotated parallel lines always remain parallel lines.

Step-by-step explanation:Rotated parallel lines remain parallel lines.

Rotation is a rigid transformation, so the lines remain parallel.

Factor the expression on the left side of the equation. Then solve the equation.x³ - 2x² - 5x = 0

-5, 0, 3
0, -1 ± √24
0, -1 ± √6
0, 1 ± √6

Answers

x³ - 2x² - 5x = 0

First, take common factor:

x(x^2 - 2x - 5 )= 0

Now use the quadratic formula to find the roots of the trinomial

x = [- b +/- √(b^2 - 4(a)(c)] / 2a

x = (2 +/- √(4 -4(1)(-5)) )/(2)

x = [2 +/-2√6 ]/2

x = 1 + √6 and x = 1 -√6

Then the solutions are:

x =0; x = 1 + √6; x = 1 - √6

That is the las option shown.
