Answer:

The exponential decay function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay function can be used to model the amount of medicine in a person's bloodstream after a certain amount of time. When a drug is administered to a persons bloodstream perhaps through intravenous injections, the exponential decay function measures the initial concentration of the drug and then after a time t, it notes the new concentration. To obtain the result, the equation below is used:

C(t)=C(0)e^(-kt)

where,

k= constant

C(0)= Initial concentration after the injection

C(t)= Concentration after time t

Which of the following graphs of exponential functions corresponds to a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a ratio of

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: graph E.

A geometric sequence can be written as:

$a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}$

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5

Substituting the numbers, we have:

$a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

or else

$f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}$

This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).

In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

$f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4$

$f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2$

Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.
