a) Increasing function.

b) The growth factor is 4.

c) The asymptote is y tending to zero as x tends to negative infinity.

d) y = 1

c) The graph can be seen at the end.

<h3>What conclusions can we get about the given function?</h3>

Here we are given the following exponential function:

y =f(x) =  4^x

a) First, we want to know if the function is increasing or decreasing. Remember that a function is increasing if, as x increses, also does the value of y.

Here clearly we have an increasing function.

  • f(0) = 4^0 = 1
  • f(1) = 4^1 = 4
  • f(2) = 4^2 = 16

and so on...

b) Now we want to identify the growth factor. This is the number that is being exponentiated, so in:

y = 4^x

The growth factor is 4.

c) We have an asymptote as x tends to negative infinity, because we will eventually have denominator that tends to infinity, then we will have an asymptote that tends to zero, as x tends to negative infinity.

d) The y-intercept is what we get when we evaluate in x = 0, we have:

y = f(0) = 4^0 = 1

The y-intercept is y = 1.

e) The sketch of the exponential function can be seen in the image below.

Nine scores have an average of 8. Scores x and x+1 are added, and these increase the average to 9. Find x
Degger [83]

Answer:

x must be 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the nine scores by a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i.

Write the following equation to indicate that the average of these nine scores is 8:

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i

----------------------------- = 8, or <em>a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i = 72</em> if we multiply both

               9                      sides of this equation by 9.

Next, we add scores x and x+ 1 to

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i  +  x + x + 1

and divide the result by 11, as there are now 11 scores instead of just 9:

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i  +  x + x + 1

----------------------------------------------

                        11

Earlier, we saw that a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i = 72.  We can now replace

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i in the above fraction by 72:

 72 + 2x + 1

------------------- = 9 (as the new average is 9)

         11

Multiplying both sides of this equation by 11 results in:

73 + 2x = 99, or  2x = 26.

Then x must be 13, and x + 1 must be 14.
