A function in which the dependent variable decreases by the same factor over each unit of time

A quantity X follows an exponential decay (decrease) if it decreases at a rate proportional to its current value. This can be written as

X(t) = X_0 e^{-at}

with t being the time (can be continuous or discrete steps), and "a" being a rate of decay (the larger "a" the faster the decay). X0 is an initial (at time 0) value of the quatity X. Exponential decay is seen frequently in nature (radioactivity, chemical reactions) and economics.

Creat an equation for a cubic function, in standard form, that has x- intercept given by the set {-3,1,7} and which passes throu
prohojiy [21]

Given :

Set of x-intercepts {-3,1,7},

point through which it passes (-2,54)

Now,

Step 1: Substitute value of x intercepts in equation, y=a(x-p)(x-q)(x-r), we get,

y=a(x-(-3))(x-1)(x-7)

y= a(x+3)(x-1)(x-7)               ... equation (1)

Step 2: substitute x an y with the point through which it passes,

54=a((-2)+3)((-2)-1)((-2)-7)

54 = 27a

∴ a=2

Step 3: Now, substituting value of a in equation (1), we have

y=(2x+6)(x^{2} -8x+7)

y=2x^{3}-10x^{2}  -34x +42   (Requited cubic equation)
