To check the decay rate, we need to check the variation in y-axis.
Since our interval is
![-2We need to evaluate both function at those limits.At x = -2, we have a value of 4 for both of them, at x = 0 we have 1 for the exponential function and 0 to the quadratic function. Let's call the exponential f(x), and the quadratic g(x).[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-2)=g(-2)=4 \\ f(0)=1 \\ g(0)=0 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2We%20need%20to%20evaluate%20both%20function%20at%20those%20limits.%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3EAt%20x%20%3D%20-2%2C%20we%20have%20a%20value%20of%204%20for%20both%20of%20them%2C%20at%20x%20%3D%200%20we%20have%201%20for%20the%20exponential%20function%20and%200%20to%20the%20quadratic%20function.%20Let%27s%20call%20the%20exponential%20f%28x%29%2C%20and%20the%20quadratic%20g%28x%29.%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%5Btex%5D%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20f%28-2%29%3Dg%28-2%29%3D4%20%5C%5C%20f%280%29%3D1%20%5C%5C%20g%280%29%3D0%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
To compare the decay rates we need to check the variation on the y-axis of both functions.
Now, we calculate their ratio to find how they compare:
This tell us that the exponential function decays at three-fourths the rate of the quadratic function.
And this is the fourth option.
Answer: A) The only zero of the function is 3 which is where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, a quadratic function which has roots x = a, and x = b, can be written as:
p(x) = A*(x - a)*(x - b)
Where A is the leading coefficient. This is the factorized form of a quadratic.
We have the function:
f(x) = (x - 3)^2
Now, we could rewrite this as:
f(x) = (x - 3)*(x - 3) = 1*(x - 3)*(x - 3)
Then we wrote f(x) in its factorized form, from this, we can see that the roots of the function are x = 3, and x = 3 (we have the same root two times)
Then the only root of f(x) is x = 3.
Remember that a root (also called a zero) is the value of x where the function intersects the x-axis. then the correct option here is:
A) The only zero of the function is 3 which is where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis
