Consider the exponential function f(x) = b^x, where b ≠ 1. Explain WHY the base has such a restriction.

If b = 1, then the function would be a straight line, f(x) = 1 which isn't exponential.

a. (14,375+570)(5.3) b. 158,417$

step-by-step explanation:

a. you are basically just setting up the equation. f= amount of debt hence 14,375. g= how much she is borrowing from her parents weekly hence 570 and t= the interest on her debt. creating the equation.

b.   14,375+570= 14,945

      14,945 x 5.3 = 79,208.5

      79,208.5 x 2(years) = 158,417(answer)
