Math Problem Statement

Use the graph of y = C * a^x to determine the constants C and a.

Solution

It seems you've uploaded an image showing a math problem involving determining the constants CC and aa based on a graph of y=Caxy = C \cdot a^x. Let me process the relevant parts to help you solve it. Hold on while I analyze the image content.From the uploaded image, the question asks you to find the constants CC and aa for the function y=Caxy = C \cdot a^x. We know:

  • C=8C = 8 is given directly.
  • To determine aa, use a point from the graph.

Steps to Solve:

  1. Identify a point (x,y)(x, y) from the graph.
  2. Substitute x,y,x, y, and CC into the equation y=Caxy = C \cdot a^x.
  3. Solve for aa.

Would you like me to guide you through solving this step-by-step or verify points from the graph for you?


5 Follow-Up Questions:

  1. What is the value of yy when x=0x = 0 according to the graph?
  2. Does the graph provide points where x=1x = 1 or x=2x = 2?
  3. Are there additional instructions or observations from the graph to assist?
  4. How is the behavior of the graph useful in confirming the base aa?
  5. Do you want a detailed explanation of how to handle fractional exponents in similar problems?

Tip: Always verify a second point on the graph to confirm the accuracy of aa.
