Answer 2

Answer:

The growth value of the function is One-third ⇒ True (2nd)

The function shows exponential decay ⇒ True (3rd)

The function is a stretch of the function $f(x)=(\frac{1}{3})^{x}$ ⇒

True (4th)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the form of the exponential function

- The general form of the exponential function is $f(x)=a(b)^{x}$

  where "a" is the initial amount and "b" is the growth factor

- If b > 1, then f(x) is exponential growth function

- If 0 < b < 1, then f(x) is exponential decay function

* Lets solve the problem

- The exponential function $f(x)=3(\frac{1}{3})^{x}$

∴ The initial value is 3

∴ The growth factor is $\frac{1}{3}$

∵ The growth factor is less than 1

∴ f(x) is exponential decay function

* Lets chose the true statements

# The initial value of the function is One-third ⇒ Not true

   because the initial value is 3

# The growth value of the function is One-third ⇒ True

   because the growth factor is $\frac{1}{3}$

# The function shows exponential decay ⇒ True

   because the growth factor is less than 1

# The function is a stretch of the function $f(x)=(\frac{1}{3})^{x}$

   ⇒ True

  because stretched vertically means multiply f(x) by constant greater

  than 1 and 3 is greater than 1

# The function is a shrink of the function $f(x)=(3)^{x}$ ⇒ Not true

   because the growth factor is not 3
