Math Problem Statement

For the graph shown below, determine a possible rule in the form     y=k-2 ×3^(h-x)

y=6 given points (0,0)

Solution

To find a possible rule in the form y=k2×3hxy = k - 2 \times 3^{h - x} using the given point (0,0)(0, 0) and the additional information y=6y = 6, follow these steps:

Step 1: Substitute the point (0,0)(0, 0) into the equation

Substitute x=0x = 0 and y=0y = 0 into the equation y=k2×3hxy = k - 2 \times 3^{h - x}:

0=k2×3h00 = k - 2 \times 3^{h - 0}

Simplify:

0=k2×3h0 = k - 2 \times 3^h

This can be rearranged to solve for kk:

k=2×3hk = 2 \times 3^h

Step 2: Use the information y=6y = 6 to find kk or hh

Assume that when y=6y = 6, x=0x = 0 (if it applies to this case), then substitute y=6y = 6 into the equation:

6=k2×3hx6 = k - 2 \times 3^{h - x}

Substitute x=0x = 0:

6=k2×3h6 = k - 2 \times 3^h

Now, substitute the expression for kk from Step 1:

6=(2×3h)2×3h6 = (2 \times 3^h) - 2 \times 3^h

This simplifies to:

6=06 = 0

This doesn't work, which suggests that more information might be needed, or there's a condition related to the point y=6y = 6 being for another value of xx. Could you confirm or clarify any other points or conditions for y=6y = 6?

Would you like to explore this further or clarify additional points?


Here are 5 relative questions:

  1. Is there any other point given for when y=6y = 6?
  2. Does y=6y = 6 apply for a specific value of xx?
  3. Are there any transformations in the equation that should be considered?
  4. Could you specify whether the y=6y = 6 corresponds to a certain point?
  5. Should we explore the nature of hh more deeply?

Tip: When solving for constants, check if additional conditions or constraints are given to avoid contradictions.
