Write an exponential function to describe the given sequence of numbers, assuming that the first number in the sequence corresponds to x = 0. 5.30, 180, 1080, 6480...

Step-by-step explanation:

A exponential function is represented by

where a is the vertical stretch and b is the base and x is the nth

power of x

Since the first number corresponds with zero, that means our y intercept is the first number.

This means when x=0 , y=5 so let find the value of 5.

b to the 0th power equal 1 so

Our equation is for now

Now let plug in 1,30

Divide 5 by both sides

Anything to the 1st power is itself so b equal 6.

So our equation is

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
