Determine if the equation y = 2(0.45)x represents exponential growth or decay

1 answer:

6 0

We have that
y = 2(0.45)^x

in this problem
2-----------> is the Coefficient
0.45-------> is the Base
x-----------> is the Exponent

we know that
If the base is less than 1 (but always greater than 0), the function will be exponential decay
It is decay because as x values increase, y values decrease.
0.45 < 1 and 0.45 > 0
therefore

the equation
y = 2(0.45)^x
represents exponential decay

the answer is
exponential decay

What key features are necessary and how they can be used to create the sketch of a polynomial function?

Tomtit [17]

The key features of polynomials are the vertex, axis of symmetry, x and y intercepts.

1. The degree will help you find the end behavior.

2. The vertex shows you where it changes concavity.

3. X and y intercepts give you a couple of points of reference.

4. Axis of symmetry is only applicable to even degree polynomials.

Answer:

1. x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5=27

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x=22

Divide 2 from both sides

x=11
