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)

The table below represents the function F. 3 7 F(x) 4 15 5 31 7 127 8 255 The equation that represents this function is?​
timurjin [86]

The table is an exponential function, and the equation that represents this function is f(x) =2^x -1

<h3>The equation of the table</h3>

The table is given as:

x   F(x)

4    15

5    31

7    127

8    255

Rewrite the table as:

x   F(x)

4    16 - 1

5    32 - 1

7    128 - 1

8    256 - 1

Express as a base of 2

x   F(x)

4    2⁴ - 1

5    2⁵- 1

7    2⁷ - 1

8    2⁸ - 1

Notice that the function is 1 subtracted from 2 raised to the power of the input.

This is represented as:

f(x) =2^x -1

Hence, the equation of the table is f(x) =2^x -1
