Without graphing predict weather the function y= (1/2)x shows exponential growth or decay. Justify your predictions

Answer:

The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations are usually in the form;

y=ab^{x}

where;

a is the initial value, that is the value of y when x is 0,

b is the growth or decay factor and also the base of the exponential function

If b>1, then it is an exponential growth function and the values of y keep getting bigger.

if 0<b<1, then it is an exponential decay function and the y values keep getting smaller as x increases.

In the function given;

y=(\frac{1}{2})^{x}

The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.

In order to justify our prediction, we can simply obtain the graph of the function and check on how x and y vary.

From the attachment below we can see that the values of y become increasingly smaller as the values of x increases in magnitude which justifies our predictions.

White raven [17]

Answer:

41 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically you add the 72 and the other 72 to get 148.You obviously know the angle in between 72 and 72 is a right angle or 90 degrees.Then you add 148 and 90 to get 238.Then 360 - 238 is 122.Now you know all the angles.So we have to ask ourselves what is 148/360 simplified.It is 37/90.Now that we know that and we know that the radius is 10.We have to find the regular area which is 10 times 10 which is 100.Finally we need to figure out what part of 100 is 37/90 and it is 41.111111111111.Rounded it is 41.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

5√3 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 30 = ( 5 / 2 ) / y

1 / √3 = 5 / 2y

2y = 5√3

y = 5√3 / 2
