Explain the difference between exponential growth and exponential decay

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexdok [17]3 years ago
8 0
Exponential growth is the function
y =  a^{x} , a\ \textgreater \ 1
Exponential decay is the function
y = a^{x} , 0\ \textless \ a\ \textless \ 1
So, the basic difference is that in growth the base is more than 1, and in decay the base is more than 0 but less than 1.

Find the equation that models the path of a satellite if its path is a hyperbola, a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km. Assume the center
Yuki888 [10]

Given:

Hyperbola

a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km

hyperbola is the origin and the transverse axis is horizontal

Required:

Equation of the path of a satellite

Solution:

Formula for hyperbola, (x-h)2/a2 – (x-k)2/b2 = 1

At origin, (h, k) = (0, 0)

(x-0)2/(55000)2 – (x-0)2/(81000)2 = 1

Michele wanted to measure the height of her school’s flagpole. She placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole, then
yulyashka [42]
Height of the flagpole = x
distance from flagpole to the mirror = 48 ft
height of Michele = 5 ft
distance from Michele to the mirror = 12 ft

Now, set the proportion.

x/48 = 5/12
48 * x/48 = 5/12 * 48
x = 240/12
x = 20

So, the height of the flagpole is 20 ft.

Find the first five terms of the recursive sequence <br> an=-6an-1 where a1=4.5
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

4.5, -27, 162,-972, 5832

Step-by-step explanation:

The given recursive definition is,

a_n=-6a_{n-1}, a_1=4.5

This will form a geometric sequence with first term 4.5 and common ratio r=-6.

When n=2, we have:

a_2=-6a_1 \\  \implies \: a_2=-6 \times 4.5 =  - 27

When n=3, we get:

a_3=-6a_2 \\  \implies \: a_3=-6 \times  - 27 =  162

When n=4, we get:

a_4=-6a_3 \\  \implies \: a_4=-6 \times 162 =  - 972

When n=5, we get:

a_5=-6a_4 \\  \implies \: a_5=-6 \times  - 972 = 5832

Therefore the first five terms are:

4.5, -27, 162,-972, 5832
