Answer:
Exponential decay.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use a graphing utility to check this pretty quickly, but you can also look at the equation and get the answer. Since the function has a variable in the exponent, it definitely won't be a linear equation. Quadratic equations are ones of the form ax^2 + bx + c, and your function doesn't look like that, so already you've ruled out two answers.
From the start, since we have a variable in the exponent, we can recognize that it's exponential. Figuring out growth or decay is a little more complicated. Having a negative sign out front can flip the graph; having a negative sign in the exponent flips the graph, too. In your case, you have no negatives; just 2(1/2)^x. What you need to note here, and you could use a few test points to check, is that as x gets bigger, (1/2) will get smaller and smaller. Think about it. When x = 0, 2(1/2)^0 simplifies to just 2. When x = 1, 2(1/2)^1 simplifies to 1. Already, we can tell that this graph is declining, but if you want to make sure, try a really big value for x, like 100. 2(1/2)^100 is a value very very very veeery close to 0. Therefore, you can tell that as the exponent gets larger, the value of the function goes down and gets closer and closer to zero. This means that it can't be exponential growth. In the case of exponential growth, as the exponent gets bigger, your output should increase, too.

Step-by-step explanation:
Just multiply 1166 by 0.2879
Step-by-step explanation:
hi im not sure it's right it was kinda confusing
For short you call this scientific notation.
FIRST
Count how many time you need to move the decimal over to make your single digit more then 1 and less then 10. So we will erase the 0's as we go along.
167000,000,000,000
So in this case we want to make the single digit 1.67 so it can be greater then 1 and less then 10
So now we see how many times we need to move the decimal and when you cant see the decimal just imagine it at the very end of the problem
167000,000,000,000
(For the mods out there I copied and pasted the bold number so i didn't have to take a while to retype the whole number. Thanks.)
SO NOW I get 14 because that's how many spots the decimal moved over.
Now since we need to right it in SN we need to write out this
X*10^X
The exponent X stands for how many times we moved the decimal over. I got 14 so we have that exponent
X*10^14
NOW We need to fiqure out X.... X was just the number we made greater then one and less then 0.
So thats 1.67
So we get
1.67*10^14
