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.

The population of algae in an experiment has been increasing by 5% each day. If there were 5p algae at the beginning of the expe
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Number of algae in 7 days = 70.355

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Algae in beginning = 50

Rate of increasing = 5% per day = 0.05

Number of days = 7 days

Find:

Number of algae in 7 days.

Computation:

Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = Algae\ in\ beginning(1+Rate\ of\ increasing)^{Number\ of\ days}\\\\Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = 50(1+0.05)^7\\\\Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = 70.355

Number of algae in 7 days = 70.355
