Which statements are true about exponential decay functions? Check all that apply. The domain is all real numbers. As the input
2 answers:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct options are:
- The domain is all real numbers.
- The base must be less than 1 and greater than 0.
- The function has a constant multiplicative rate of change.
We know that the exponential function is given by:
where a>0 and b are constants.
Also, it represents a growth function if b>1
and a decay function if 0<b<1
where b is the base.
- x belongs to whole of the real numbers( since the exponential function is well defined for all the real values of x.
Hence, the domain of the function is all the real numbers )
- Also, the graph of a decay function decreases continuously i.e. with the increasing input value the output value decreases.
- The exponential decay function always have a constant multiplicative rate of change i.e. b.

The number of white and grey blocks in the quilts follows a sequence given by the Design number of the quilt
The numbers and patterns of the blocks are;
a. Patterns;
- The height of the white blocks is the Design number, while the rows are one more than the design number
- The height of the outer grey blocks is 2 blocks more than the Design number, while their rows are 3 blocks more than the Design number
b. The function is
c. The function is
d.
e. The design chosen is <u>Design 9</u>
The number of blocks is <u>132 blocks</u>
Reasons:
The pattern of the design are;
a. The column height of the grey blocks = 2 blocks more than the column height of the white blocks
Width of the outer grey blocks = 2 blocks more than the width of the inner white blocks
The number of white blocks in a design, <em>n</em> is the product of <em>n</em> and (n + 1)
The number of grey blocks in a design <em>n</em>, is the product of (n + 2) and (n + 3) less the number of white blocks in the design
b. Based on the above, the function that represent the number of picture blocks in Design <em>n</em>, is therefore;
- p(n) = n·(n + 1)
c. Based on the above, the function that represent the number of border blocks in Design <em>n</em>, is therefore;
- b(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3) - n·(n + 1)
d. The total number of blocks, t(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3)
t(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3) - n·(n + 1) + n·(n + 1)
- t(n) = p(n) + b(n)
e. The given number of picture blocks = 90
The number of picture blocks in a design, n = n × (n + 1)
Therefore, given that the number of picture blocks is 90, we have;
90 = n × (n + 1)
n² + n - 90 = 0
(n + 10)·(n - 9) = 0
n = 9, or n = -10
Therefore, the design museum chooses is <u>Design 9</u>
The total number of blocks in a quilt design, t(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3)
Total blocks in the design the art museum choses, t(9), is given as follows;
t(9) = (9 + 2)·(9 + 3) = <u>132 blocks</u>
