Write a rule for the following functions. i need fast!

  20.  y = 3·3^x

  21.  y = (1/3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

These exponential functions can be written in the form ...

  y = a·b^x

where a is the value of y when x=0, and b is the common ratio between terms that have x different by 1.

__

20. The ratio is 9/3 = 3; the multiplier is 3 (the value of y when x=0), so the function is ...

  y = 3·3^x

__

21. The ratio is (1/3)/1 = 1/3; the multiplier is 1, so the function is ...

  y = (1/3)^x

Alternate solution

Each of these can be written in a more compact form:

  20: y = 3^(x+1)

  21: y = 3^(-x)

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16
