Help with this question, not sure what the answer is

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros ( where the graph crosses the x- axis ) are x = 3 and x = 7

The corresponding factors are then (x - 3) and (x - 7)

The equation is then

f(x) = a(x - 3)(x - 7) ← a is a multiplier

To find a substitute any point on the graph into the equation.

Using (8, 15 ) , then

15 = a(8 - 3)(8 - 7) = a(5)(1) = 5a ( divide both sides by 5 )

3 = a

Thus

f(x) = 3(x - 3)(x - 7)

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
