Does this represent an exponential function?

Answer:

The function have a constant ratio

No, it does not represent an exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Ines has saved $5. She doubles the amount she saves each week.

⇒ In first week she saved = $5

   In second week she saved = 2×$5 = $10

   In third week she saved = 2×$10 = 20

  In fourth week she saved = 2×$20 = 40

and so on..

∴ we get the series

5, 10, 20, 40 ,.......

If the series is given as a, b, c, d, ..... , then

The common difference is defined as d = b-a = c-b

The common ration is defined as r = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{c}{b}

Here, in the given question

The series is - 5, 10, 20, 40

This has no common difference , d =   10 - 5 (= 5 )≠ 20 - 10 (= 10)

As 5 ≠ 10

So the function does not define common difference .

Now,

This has common ratio , r =  \frac{10}{5} (=2) = \frac{20}{10}(=2)

As 2 = 2

So, the function represent common ratio

Now,

The function does not represent an exponential function because it is increased by common ratio.

If f(x)=4(3x-5), find f^-1(x)
Margaret [11]

Answer:

f^-1(x) = (x+20) / 12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4(3x-5)

Let y be the image of f.

y = 4(3x-5)

y = 12x-20

y+20 = 12x

x = (y+20) / 12

f^-1(y) = (y+20) / 12, so

f^-1(x) = (x+20) / 12

What is the average of -30 -15 -20 55
defon

Answer:

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-30 + (-15) + (-20) + 55 = -10. Then you divide it by how many numbers there are (4). Which equals - 2.5. If this is wrong, then round up to -3.
