Step-by-step explanation:
y = a(b^x)
a = initial value
If b > 0 and b < 1, then 1 - b is the decay factor.
If b > 1, then b is the growth factor.
what function has a growth factor of 3
Function 3
what function has an initial value of 2
Function 2
what function has an initial value of 0.2
Function 4 since 1/5 = 0.2
what function has an initial value of 1
Function 3
what function has a decay factor of 0.2
None. In Function 2, the decay factor is 1 - 1/5 = 0.8, not 0.2.
what functions are increasing across real numbers?
Functions 3, 4
what functions are decreasing across all real numbers?
Functions 1, 2
