Exponential functions model exponential increase/decrease; in this case, we must understand that exponential functions differ from linear functions, which increase, well, linearly: the function can be represented by a straight line. In real-world terms, that means stuff increases/decreases constantly, not at a changing rate.

For this question, (B) and (D) are not modeled by g(x) because they increase linearly: a set amount of things happen per unit of time.

So, (A), (C), and (E) can be modeled by exponential functions because they double per time unit. However, (C) is not modeled by g(x) because it doubles every 5 hours (time units). If we look at g(x), it doubles every time unit (2^x, where x is the time unit). (A) and (E) double every time unit (every year), while C doubles every 5 time units (every 5 hours).

So, your answer would be (A) and (E).

Short note: What does g(x) actually mean?

Well, 100 represents the initial input: whether that be height, money, or population. That's your starting value you base your function off of.
2 is the base: how much your input changes exponentially: 2 is doubling, 3 is tripling, etc. Similarly, 0.5 is halving, and so on.
As x is the exponent, it tells you how long it takes for your input to change by the base: 1x is per 1 time unit, 0.5x is per 2 time units, 0.25 is per 4 time units, and so on. Conversely, 2x is per 0.5 time units, 4x is per 0.25 time units, and so on.
This is because, for 0.5x, it takes us double the time (2 time units) for the input to change by the base. Similarly, for 2x, it only takes us half the time (0.5 time units) for the input to change by the base.
If you are able to apply this understanding to exponential functions like g(x), you can understand what they represent, and what they can model. Similarly, you can look at worded examples of exponential functions and see how they could be represented mathematically. That's the most important thing to learn.

Water stations will be placed every 600 meters of a fifteen kilometer race how many water stations will be needed
zaharov [31]
15 km = 15,000 m
every 600 m, there is one water station (starting point at 600 m)
number of stations needed : 15000/600 = 25 water stations

Can someone help me solve these two problems? i need to find what x is.
Bond [772]

Answer:

1. x=2

2. x= 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

1.So to start off you have a coefficient for 2 so you have to find what 2 to the power of 2 is =4 so then you have your new problem 4x+5=13 next you need to get 4x by itself so

-5 -5

then you have 4x=8. you divide by 4 on both sides

4. 4

so then you get x=2

2.So same here find what 3 to the power of 2 is =9

New equation 4x-1=9x+4x-4. Then combine like terms on the right you cant do it on the left because that is a separate part and those dont merge like terms so

9x+4x = 13x

new equation. 4x-1=13x-4

next subtract 4x on both sides

13x-4x=9x

new equation. -1=9x-4

next add 4 to both sides

-1+4= 3

new equation. 3=9x

so then divide 9 on both sides

3÷9= 0.33

x= 0.33

Hope this made sense and helps
