It is known that any exponential function with the form f(x)=a^x is an increasing function while a function of the form g(x)=a^(-x) is a decreasing function.
Furthermore, it a function h(x) is increasing, then the function -h(x) is decreasing. By analogy, if a function k(x) is decreasing, then -k(x) is increasing.
Now let's analyze the functions from the problem.
Since (6/7)^x is increasing and the multiplying factor of 10 is positive, then the function <em>f(x)</em> is also increasing.
Use these rules to find whether each function is increasing or decreasing.
Remember that increasing functions are used to represent growth while decreasing functions are used to represent decay.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = x² - 2x - 8
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 , that is
x² - 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x- intercepts : x = - 2, x = 4
The x- coordinate of the vertex is mid way between the x- intercepts, that is
=
=
= 1
Substitute x = 1 into the equation for corresponding y- coordinate
y = 1² - 2(1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9
vertex = (1, - 9 )
Answer:
C. No, more than one output value x is assigned to the input y-value
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
х у
-3 -2
3 6
0 7
1 7
2 4
3 - 1
Required
State if the table shows x as a function of y
x being a function of y means
i.e. x represents the output while y represents the input of the function
Note that each value of y (input) must be assigned to separate values of x (output) for a function to be established
Having said;
Next step: We have to examine the x and y column
In the y column, the value 7 occurred twice (as shown below)
<em>х у </em>
<em>0 7 </em>
<em>1 7 </em>
<em />
This implies that;
Input 7 gives output of 0 and 1.
<em>Hence, this is not a function.</em>
<em>Option C answers the question.</em>
