Describe a method for writing an exponential equation given a graph

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

We can find the parameters of the exponential equation ...

  y = a^(x-h) +k

1. Locate the horizontal asymptote. The y-value of that is the value of k.

2. Locate the point that is at y = k+1. The x-value of that is the value of h.

3. Locate the point that is at x = h+1. Subtract k from the y-value of that to find "a".

____

You have identified the three points on any exponential curve y = a^(x -h) +k. They are ...

  (-∞, k) for growth, or (∞, k) for decay

  (h, k+1)

  (h+1, k+a) . . . . . for decay, (h -1, k+1/a) might be easier to find

_____

<em>Comment on reflected curves</em>

If the curve extends below the horizontal asymptote, it has been reflected about the x-axis. Reflect it across the x-axis, perform the above steps, then multiply the right side of the equation by -1.

_____

<em>Additional note</em>

If the value of h is not an integer, it might be easier to express the curve in the form ...

   y = a·b^x +k

In this case, you can find the value of b by finding the y-values associated with three consecutive values of x. Call them (x, y1), (x+1, y2), (x+2, y3). Then ...

  b = (y3 -y2)/(y2 -y1)

  a = (y1 -k)/b^x . . . . . where x is the x-value of the first point, (x, y1)

A box in the shape of a cube has a volume of 64 cube inches. What is the length of a side of the box
Naily [24]

The volume of a cube can be expressed as

Let V = volume

Let a = side length

V = a^3

We need to solve the formula to isolate the variable a. First, we must cube root each side.

∛(V) = a. With our new formula, we plug in 64 cube inches into V.

∛(64) = a.

4 = a.

The length of one side on our cube is 4 inches.

X + 14= -6 idk what the answer is please help me right away
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

You move the 14 with the 6, since it is addition, it changes symbols ( from + to - ), so it'd be;

x = -6 - 14, since you are subtracting a negative number, you are technically adding them.
