Question

PLEASE HELP! URGENT! Exponential function f is being represented by the table (photo attached) the function “g” is an exponential function passing through the points of (0, 15) , (2, 0). Which of the statements below correctly compared the behavior of these two functions on the interval (0, 2) ??

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Both functions are decreasing and both are positive on the interval (0;2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As known the exponent function has no minimum and has no maximum.

Otherwise exponent function can be only or increasing or decreasing for all x.

That means that in case y(x2)>y(x1) and  if x2>x1-  function is increasing.

That means that in case y(x2)<y(x1) and  if x2>x1-  function is decreasing.  

Lets check what is going on with the function f(x)

If x1=0        f(x1)=24

If x2=2        f(x2)=0

So    x2>x1 however f(x2)<f(x1)=> function is decreasing

Similarly g(x)

If x1=0   g(x1)=15

If x2=2   g(x2)=0

So x2>x1 however g(x2)<g(x1) => function is decreasing

So bothfunctions are decreasing.

Because f(x) is decreasing the function meaning with argument x1=0 has max in the interval x∈(0;2) And function meaning has the minimum if argument x2=2.   So the function F(x) in interval (0;2) is changing from 24 to 0 => is positive on the interval (0,2)

The same is with g(x) .  g(x) gonna be positive on the interval (0;2)
