Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Function</u>
The exponential function can be written with the general equation:

Where A is the value when x=0 and r>0 is the ratio. If r is greater than 1, the function is increasing, if r is less than 1, the function is decreasing.
The table shows the relation between values of x and values of the function y. Note that as x increases (one by one), y decreases with a ratio of 1/2. Only the last two choices have ratios of r=1/2. We only have to test which one of them has the correct value of y=4 when x=0.
Substituting in the third function:



This gives the correct value of f(0)=4.
Substituting in the fourth function:



This choice is wrong
Correct choice:

Since x - 3 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-3| = -(x-3)
Since x + 2 > 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x+2| = x+2
Since x - 5 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-5| = -(x-5).
So y = -(x-3) + (x+2) -(-(x-5)) = 3 - x + x + 2 + x - 5 = x.
y = x, if -2 < x < 3.
Your answer is 7^(- 2) or

or
This is a linear function.
A linear function is a straight line that has a slope, and follows the formula: <em>
y = mx + b</em>
In which:
y = y
m = slope
x = x
b = y -intercept
