Question
Transcribed Image Text:The variables x and y have an exponential relationship, one of the form y = C. a.
Suppose that we also have the following table of values for x and y, one of which is the y-intercept:
X
0
6.2
C =
a =
y
We'll use these two data points to solve for C and a.
Step 1: Reading the value of C from the table.
From the y-intercept data point, what must the value of C be?
27
27000
Step 2: Solving for the value of a
Plug in the values (x, y) = (6.2, 27000) and the value you found for C into the equation y = C. a to
get an equation involving only a. Solve that equation for a.
