For each function of the form y=ab^x, identify a and b.

Question

1. f(x)=5(0.5)^x a=___ , b=___

2. g(x)=12.75(0.6)^x a=___, b=___

Answer 1

For the functions of the form \( y = ab^x \):

1. For \( f(x) = 5(0.5)^x \):

   • \( a = 5 \)
   • \( b = 0.5 \)

2. For \( g(x) = 12.75(0.6)^x \):

   • \( a = 12.75 \)
   • \( b = 0.6 \)

So, the values are:

1. \( a = 5, ; b = 0.5 \)
2. \( a = 12.75, ; b = 0.6 \)
