Tristan is performing an experiment in his science class. He’s measuring how much weight is required to stretch a spring from rest. Using graph paper, he plots the stretch of the spring against the amount of the applied weight. He finds that the graph is a straight line passing through the origin. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.

What does it mean by solve the exponential equation for x?

Simplify. (-2)^-3 a. -8 b. -1/8 c. 1/8 d. 8

The equation represents the function f, and the graph represents the function g. f(x)=3(5/2)^x determine the relationship between the growth factors of f and g. a. the growth factor of g is twice the growth factor of f. b. the growth factor of f is twice the growth factor of g. c. the growth factor of f is 2.5 times the growth factor of g. d. the growth factor of f is the same as the growth factor of g.
