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: The correct line is
Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following two sets of quadratic expressions in various forms:
We are to select one of the lines from above that represent three equivalent expressions.
We can see that there are three different forms of a quadratic expression in each of the lines:
First one is the simplified form, second is the factorised form and third one is the vertex form.
So, to check which line is correct, we need to calculate the factorised form and the vertex form from the simplified form.
We have
and
So,
Thus, Line 1 contains three equivalent expressions.
Now,
and
So,
Thus, Line 2 does not contain three equivalent expressions.
Hence, Line 1 is correct.
