Question

Which equation represents an exponential function with the initial value of 500?

Answer 1

Answer:

A exponential equation is usually of the form f(x)=a (1±r)ˣ.

Our limitation: Initial Vale is 500.

Let's look at our options:

#1- Initial Value of 1000  --- WRONG!

#2- Initial Value of 1000  --- WRONG!

#3- Initial Value of 500 ---- Maybe

#4- Initial Value of 500 ---- Maybe

Let's look at 3 and 4:

#3- Fits Our Form of f(x)=a (1±r)ˣ ---- CORRECT!

#4- Does not fit Our Form of f(x)=a (1±r)ˣ, It's to the 2nd power, not the x power! ---- WRONG!

Hence, #3 Is correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, I hope you understood, and I'd gladly explain anything that didn't make sense. A brainliest would be appreciated, thank you!
