Answer:
The value of a is 9 and b is -8
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find two numbers that add up or subtract off to 1.
Then we also use the same two numbers that multiply and get -72.
Let's see:-
- 9 and -8 seem like correct values.
Because 9+(-8) is 9-8 = 1
And 9(-8) is -72.
Therefore:
The value of a is 9 and the value of b is -8 according to form of (x+a)(x+b)
Hi there!
f(x) = 2(1/5)ˣ
Recall the form of an exponential function:
f(x) = a(b)ˣ where:
a = initial value
b = rate of decay/growth
If b > 1, the function is undergoing exponential growth. If b < 1, then the function is undergoing exponential decay.
1/5 < 1, so the function is undergoing exponential decay, not growth.
