OpenStudy (marcelie):

21 and 23

OpenStudy (marcelie):

lool peachhh

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 21, you plug in the points into the model function, then you should get a system of equations that you can solve for C and b.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

what do i plug ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the points on the graph. x coordinate for x, y coordinate for f(x)

OpenStudy (marcelie):

mmm k wellt he graph is graphed though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, you take the two points they gave you on the graph and plug in the numbers into the equation they gave you in the question, \(f(x)=Cb^x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so when you plug in (3, 24) you get \(24=Cb^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, \(24 = Cb^3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in (1, 6) to get the other equation

OpenStudy (marcelie):

so itll loook like this

OpenStudy (marcelie):

wait... whre did the 3 come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3, 24) is a point on the graph you posted

OpenStudy (marcelie):

oh okay so what does c and b represent ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C and b are what you're solving for. In general, exponential function are used to show the general formula for a geometric sequence. C is the first term of the geometric sequence and b is the common ratio, if that's what you were asking

OpenStudy (marcelie):

oh itll be |dw:1455579597718:dw|
