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.

Answer:
a) 2
b) -
c) y = 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
First put the equation into slope intersept form (y=mx+b) by...
- Move the variable to the right-hand side and change its sign : -y = -4 -2x
- Change the signs on both sides of the equation: y = 4 + 2x
- Use the commutative property to reorder the terms : y = 2x + 4
Slope intersept form : y = 2x + 4
Parallel lines have the same slope so.... a parallel slope is 2
b)
First put the equation into slope intersept form (y=mx+b) by...
- Move the variable to the right-hand side and change its sign : -y = -4 -2x
- Change the signs on both sides of the equation: y = 4 + 2x
- Use the commutative property to reorder the terms : y = 2x + 4
Slope intersept form : y = 2x + 4
To find a perpendicular slope flip the slope and change the sign : -
c)
First put the equation into slope intersept form (y=mx+b) by...
- Move the variable to the right-hand side and change its sign : -y = -4 -2x
- Change the signs on both sides of the equation: y = 4 + 2x
- Use the commutative property to reorder the terms : y = 2x + 4
Slope intersept form : y = 2x + 4, parellel slope : 2
- Substitute the x and y values with the given ordered pair: 3 = 2(1) + b
- Calculate the product: 3 = 2 + b
- Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign: -x = 2 - 3
- Calculate the difference and change the signs : b = 1
Use the slope and y-intersept (b) to write the new line : y = 2x + 4
