Question

Rewrite the exponential function y = 12 (0.56)^(t/4). Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

The exponential function will be written as:
 y = 12 (0.56)^(t/4)
y=12(0.56^(1/4))^t
but
0.56^(1/4)=0.8651
thus plugging the value in y we get:
y=12(0.8651)^t
in two decimal places we get:
y=12(0.87)^t

Answer 2

The exponential function will be written as:

y = 12 (0.56) ^ (t/4)  

y=12 (0.56^ (1/4)) ^t

but

0.56^ (1/4) = 0.8651

thus plugging the value in y we get:

y=12 (0.8651) ^t

in two decimal places we get:

y=12 (0.87) ^t
