Please help meee!!! It's urgent!!! What is the equation of the line shown in this graph?

Rudiy27

Answer:

Vertical Lines

Similarly, in the graph of a vertical line, x only takes one value. Thus, the equation for a vertical line is x = a, where a is the value that x takes. Since x always takes the value 2 = , the equation for the line is x = .

Which equations represent exponential growth? Which equations represent exponential decay? Drag the choices into the boxes to co

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Exponential growth functions are:

$A=20000(1.08)^{t}$

$A=40(3)^{t}$

$A=1700(1.07)^{t}$

Exponential decay functions are:

$A=80(\frac{1}{2})^{t}=80(0.5)^{t}$

$A=1600(0.8)^{t}$

$A=1700(0.93)^{t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An exponential function is of the form $y=ab^{x}$ , where, $a\ne 0$ .

Now, if a > 0 and b > 1, then the exponential function represent exponential growth.

If a > 0 and 0 < b < 1, then the exponential function represent exponential decay.

Let us check each function now.

Option 1: $A=20000(1.08)^{t}$

Here, $a = 20000, b = 1.08$

As 1.08 > 1, the function is exponential growth.

Option 2: $A=80(\frac{1}{2})^{t}=80(0.5)^{t}$

Here, $a = 80, b = 0.50$

As 0.5 < 1, the function is exponential decay.

Option 3: $A=1600(0.8)^{t}$

Here, $a = 1600, b = 0.8$

As 0.8 < 1, the function is exponential decay.

Option 4: $A=40(3)^{t}$

Here, $a = 40, b = 3$

As 3 > 1, the function is exponential growth.

Option 5: $A=1700(1.07)^{t}$

Here, $a = 1700, b = 1.07$

As 1.07 > 1, the function is exponential growth.

Option 6: $A=1700(0.93)^{t}$

Here, $a = 1700, b = 0.93$

As 0.93 < 1, the function is exponential decay.

Is a function always a relation

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No, to be a function a relation must fulfill two requirements: existence and unicity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Existence is a condition that establish that every element of te domain set must be related with some element in the range. Example: if the domain of the function is formed by the elements (1,2,3), and the range is formed by the elements (10,11), the condition is not respected if the element "3" for example, is not linked with 10 or 11 (the two elements of the range set).
Unicity is a condition that establish that each element of the domain of a relation must be related with only one element of the range. Following the previous example, if the element "1" of the domain can be linked to both the elements of the range (10,11), the relation is not a function.
