Answer:
y = 27·x² or (a, n) = (27, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the log (base 3) of the given equation, we have ...
[tex]\log_3(y)=n\cdot\log_3(x)+\log_3(a)[/tex]
Using the points given on the graph, we have 2 equations in n and 'a'.
3 = n·0 +log₃(a) . . . . . log₃(y) = 3, log₃(x) = 0
a = 3³ = 27
and
7 = n·2 +3 . . . . . log₃(y) = 7, log₃(x) = 2
4 = 2n
2 = n
The values of a and n are 27 and 2, respectively.
