Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equation takes the form where
- a is the initial value ( a ≠ 0), and
- b is the base ( b ≠ 1)
The equation given in the problem can be written as , so it is <em>an exponential equation, </em> where a = -4.8 and b = 4.
Thus we can say that the initial value = -4.8 and the base is 4
The correct answer is D
I'm assuming you're referring to problem 6. You are asked to find the number of x intercepts or roots, which is another term for "zero". I prefer the term root or x intercept as "zero" seems misleading. Anyways, all we do is count the number of times the graph crosses the x axis. This happens 4 times as shown in the attached image below. I have marked these points in red. The graph can directly cross over the x axis, or it can touch the x axis and then bounce back. Either way, it is considered an x intercept.
<h3>Answer: there are 4 x intercepts (or 4 roots)</h3>
