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.

Triangle TRE has vertices T(3,6), R(-3,10), and E(-9,4). Find the coordinates of point M if line TM is a median of triangle TRE
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The coordinate of point M = (-6,7)

Explanation:

The Median of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of a triangle.

Given: \triangle TRE has vertices T(3,6) , R(-3,10) and E(-9,4).

Here, line TM is a median of triangle TRE where M is the midpoint of RE.

The midpoint of  M of the line segment from R(-3,10)  to E(-9,4) is;

M = (\frac{-3+(-9)}{2}, \frac{10+4}{2}) = ( \frac{-12}{2}, \frac{14}{2} )=(-6,7)

Therefore, the coordinate of point M is, (-6,7).

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y=3/4x+2
stepladder [879]
If two lines are parallel to one another, then their slopes are identical.  The slope in the line above is 3/4.  Therefore, a line parallel to that line will also have a slope of 3/4, it will just have a different y-intercept.
