How is the following written with only one exponent?
a^3 . a^5

The expression 103 is called the exponential expression. ... The exponent applies only to the number that it is next to. ... If −3 is to be the base, it must be written as (−3)4, which means −3 • −3 • −3 ... From row 1 to row 2, the exponential form goes from 105 to 104. ... Following the pattern, you see that 100 is equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
