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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
5 0

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.

The volume of a cylinder is 480pie cm3. The height of the cylinder is 30 cm. What is the radius of the
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

R = 4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

V = π(R)²h = 480π

Divide by π

(R)²h = 480

Substitute h with 30

30*(R)² = 480

Divide by 30

(R)² = 16

Square root

R = 4cm

We do not accept R= -4 because it's a length, so it must be positive.
