Mr. Valdez puts $10,000 in a retirement account and does not make any deposits or withdrawals. The table below shows the amount of money in the account after x years.

A 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled years with entries 0, 10, 20, 30, 40. The second column is labeled amount (dollar sign) with entries 10,000; 16,000; 27,000; 43,000; 70,000.
What values, rounded to the nearest hundredth, complete the exponential regression equation that models the data?

f(x) =
(
)x

9974.73 for the first blank and 1.05 for the second blank.

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
