Answer:

f(x)=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x+4

The exponential function is increasing and is concave down

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of exponential function be

f(x)=a\cdot b^x+c,\ ,\ b>0

1. Exponential function f(x) has a y intercept of 3, so the graph of f(x) passes through the point (0,3). Thus,

3=a\cdot b^0+c\\ \\3=a+c

2. Exponential function f(x) has an x intercept of -2, so the graph of f(x) passes through the point (-2,0). Thus,

0=a\cdot b^{-2}+c\\ \\0=\dfrac{a}{b^2}+c

3. Function is always increasing as the value of x increases, but the function never reaches y=4, so

c=4

Hence,

\left\{\begin{array}{l}a+4=3\\ \\\dfrac{a}{b^2}+4=0\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}a=-1\\ \\\dfrac{-1}{b^2}+4=0\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}a=-1\\ \\b^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\end{array}\right.

So,

a=-1,\\ \\b=\dfrac{1}{2},\\ \\c=4,\\ \\f(x)=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x+4

What is the vertex of the graph of g(x)=|x-3|-3
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the most general absolute value function is y = |x|, whose vertex is at (0, 0).   Focusing on the " |x - 3| " tells us that the graph of y = |x| is moved 3 units to the right.  Next, focusing on the " -3 " as it tells us that the resulting graph is shifted 3 units down.  Thus, the vertex of g(x)=|x-3|-3 is at (3, -3).

inysia [295]
You can draw a picture of the fence, as a line, and label every centimeter pretending it is a foot, and then draw bushes under the line spread out by 1.5 centimeters. you can then count how many bushes you can put along the fence. you may need a ruler to do this. hope this helps

rachel is frosting the top of two cakes and wants to know which cake will require more frosting. one cake is round with a diamet
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The square cake is larger by 31 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A round cake has a circular area on top.

We need to find the radius

d= 2r

8 = 2r

r=4

The area of the circle is pi r^2

A = 3.14 * 4^2

A = 3.14 *16

   = 50.24

The area of the square cake is

A =s^2

A = 9^2

A = 81

The square cake is larger

The difference is Asquare - A round

81 -50.24

30.76

Which is close to 31 in ^2

Hot dogs and hot dog buns are complements. if the price of a hot dog falls, then
love history [14]
Then the price of hot dog buns would go up, I assume.
If you were the owner of the leading hot dog bun company, and hot dog prices went down, then more people would need to buy hot dog buns. So if you wanted to profit from that you'd raise your prices a little bit to make more money.
