Why must the base of an exponential function be positive?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ivolga24 [154]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because we only work with positive bases, bx is always positive.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of f(x), therefore, are either always positive or always negative, depending on the sign of a. Smaller values of b lead to faster rates of decay.

Slope formula question (Algebra 2)
DaniilM [7]
\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 3}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})

% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-3}{3-5}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-2}\implies 1

Sara jumps off a diving board that is 6 feet above the surface of the water her height above the surface of the water h in feet
Flauer [41]
Well when she hits the water h=0 so

2t^2-t-6=0  factor

2t^2-4t+3t-6=0

2t(t-2)+3(t-2)=0

(2t+3)(t-2)=0, since t>0

t=2 seconds...

However it should be noted that h(t)=-2t^2+t+6 implies that

v(t)=dh/dt=-4t+1 and

a(t)=dv/dt=-4

Since this is a free fall equation, this would suggest that the acceleration due to gravity is -4, whether that is supposed to be -4ft/s^2 or -4m/s^2, it certainly is not on this planet! :D  If it is -4ft/s^2 it could be on the Moon or if it is -4m/s^2 it could be on Mars.

Answer:

B. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

check by substituting each given value of x into the function

x = 0 ⇒ y =  × 0² = 0

hence (0, 0) is correct

x = 2 ⇒ y =  × 4 = 3

hence (2, 4 ) is incorrect

x = 3 ⇒ y =  × 9 = 6  

hence (3, 6 ) is correct

x = 5 ⇒ y =  × 25 = 18  

hence (5, 18 ) is correct
