9. How can you identify a and b from a table?

A function is said to be an exponential function if equal steps in the independent variable produce equal ratios for the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x

for this case we have that by definition, the surface area of a cylinder is given by:

where:

r: it is the radius of the cylinder

h: it is the height of the cylinder

we can also rewrite it as:

where:

la: it's the lateral area

ba: area of the base
