-6 to the 5th means -6 times itself 5 times
PEMDAS
do the exponents first
(-6)^5=(-6)(-6)(-6)(-6)(-6)=-7776

one shortcut is to recognize that
-6=-1 times 6
so
(-6)(-6)(-6)(-6)(-6)=(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(6)(6)(6)(6)(6)
and remember that odd number of negatives is negative (since neagtive times positive=negative and negative times negative=positive)

therfor answer is -(6^5)

or -7776

An exponential function is expressed in the form y=axb^x. The relation represents a growth when ________ and a decay when_______

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Growth when: b>1.

Decay when: 0<b<1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any function in the form $f(x) =a\times b^x$ , where a > 0, b > 0 and b not equal to 1 is called an exponential function with base b.

if 0 < b < 1. It is an example of an exponential decay.

The general shape of an exponential with b > 1 is an example of exponential growth.

Hence,

An exponential function is expressed in the form $y=a\times b^x$ The relation represents a growth when b >1 and a decay when 0<b<1.
