Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 349 People


a. f(x) = 0.4(3)x
b. f(x) = 3(0.5)x
c. f(x) = 0.8(0.9)x
d. f(x) = 0.9(5)−x

Answered by maham237 @



A function f(x)=b\cdot a^x shows

  • exponential growth, if a>1;
  • exponential decay, if 0

Consider all options:

A. The function f(x)=0.4\cdot 3^x shows exponential growth, because 3>1.

B. The function f(x)=3\cdot 0.5^x shows exponential decay, because 0

C. The function f(x)=0.8\cdot 0.9^x shows exponential decay, because 0

D. The function f(x)=0.9\cdot 5^{-x}=0.9\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^x shows exponential decay, because 0

Answer: correct choice is A
