Define an exponential function, ff, that passes through the point (0,2) with a growth factor of 1.2. (Use xx as your input variable.)    

Define an exponential function, gg, that passes through the point (0,86.57) with a growth factor of 0.36. (Use xx as your input variable.)

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
