An exponential function f(x)= ab^x passes through the points (0,10) and (3,1250). What are the values of a and b? a = I know it’s 10
b = ?

a = 10 and b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We write out f(x)= ab^x for x = 0 and x = 3 to create two equations in a and b that must be solved simultaneously:

(0, 10):  10 = a*b^0

This tells us that 10 = a*1, or a = 10.

(3, 1250):  1250 = a*b^3 => 10*b^3, or

1250 = 10*b^3, or

125 = b^3.  Taking the cube root of both sides, we obtain b = 5.

a = 10 and b = 5

answer: the answer is 40.82

step-by-step explanation: 3.14 x 13(or half of 26) to the power of 2

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !
