Question 1133315: Hi need help on this question
The variables x and y are connected by the equation y= ax^n where a and n are constants. Given that y=6360 when x = 10, find the values of a and n to 3 s.f
this is what I have done lg y = lg a + nlg x
Lg 6360 = lg a +nlg 10
Don't know what to do next. Thanks

Question 1133585: Evaporating water into air cools the air; a swamp cooler works by evaporation. The wet-bulb temperature of air is the temperature that the air would have if it were cooled to saturation (100% humidity) by evaporating water into it. The amount of cooling possible with a swamp cooler is proportional to the difference between the actual air temperature, T and the wet-bulb temperature, W. A particular swamp cooler can cool air at a temperature of 40 degrees celsius to 23 degrees celsius if the wet-bulb temperature is 20 degrees celsius. Determine the lowest temperature that this swamp cooler could achieve:
a) Actual temperature is 48 degrees and the wet bulb temp is 22
b) Actual temp is 32 and wet bulb is 26

Question 1136834: I am working with exponential regression on a homework problem and we are find an equation for a model for the given data. (Use the first and fifth sets of data from the table to calculate your equation.) Typically I would enter the data in my TI-84 Plus calculator then STAT>CALC>EXPREG and that would give the "a" and "b" values. But, since some of the values are negative I am getting an ERR:DOMAIN instead. So, how do I work out the equation when dealing with negative numbers?
The values given
x= -6,-2,2,5,7,11
f(x)= -12.06, -22.50, -51.84, -89.58, -128.99, -294.23
