What effect does 5 have on the graph of 5x^2?
(a) the 5 makes the graph skinnier/thinner compared to y=x^2
(b) the 5 expands or stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 5
(c) both are true
(d) neither are true

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.

step-by-step explanation:

idk the answer i want to say 10 but then it would be equal so try 9 but then yeah so yeah we love edgen

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
