x² - 4x - 12 = 0
Factor the left side: (x + 2) · (x - 6) = 0
The equation is true if either factor is zero.
If (x + 2) = 0 then x = -2 .
If (x - 6) = 0 then x = 6 .
(4⁰ = 1 too small)
4¹ = 4
4² = 16
4³ = 64
4⁴ = 256
(4⁵ = 1,024 too big)
$20.25 because 8.50 and 8.50 equal 17 and then subtract 2.00 makes 15, and then add 5.25 and you end up with 20.25
The decay factor of the exponential function given in the table is of
.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, we have that when x increases by 1, y decreases by a factor of 3, hence the decay rate r is found as follows:
