True or false? f (x) = 2 · (1/5)^x represents an exponential function growth.
1 answer:
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.

Since there is no picture shown, I just plotted the given data points myself. That is shown in the attached picture. The blue rectangle is rectangle PQRS while the orange one is rectangle JKLM. I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure.
The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.
tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²
Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².
