SOLUTION: Find the values of the constants C and b so that the curve y = Cb^(x) contains the points (4 , 3) and (5 , 6)

Question 916330: Find the values of the constants C and b so that the curve y = Cb^(x) contains the points (4 , 3) and (5 , 6)
Answer by tommyt3rd(5050) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
for the point (4,3) we can write
for the point (5,6) we can write

then taking the quotient of these two equations leads to

s we see that

Now we can use either point (we'll go with (4,3)) and b directly to write

so,
