State whether each situation is best represented by an exponential or linear function. Then write an exponential or linear function for
the model and state whether the model is increasing or decreasing.
1.)

step-by-step explanation:

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

​    

=240

=48
