A particular type of cell quintuples in every hour. The function y=5^x can be used to find another number of cells after X hours if there is 1 hour. Identify a, b and if it is growth or decay

The given function is

Notice that this is an exponential function with a positive base, which means is a growth function.

From the equation we know that and , which are the base (rate) and exponent, respectively.

For 1 hours, we have

Therefore, the first hour there are 5 cells.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.

step-by-step explanation:

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution
