A characteristics of an exponential decay function is it has a constant term that is lesser than 1, this is because when you raise it a number that is lesser than 1 to higher values the result will be lesser and lesser, that is why it is called decay function. so the decay functions are a. f(x)=0.9^x and d. <span>j(x)=(4/5)^x</span>
before the raise you were earning 100% of "x", we also know that 6% of "x" is 312, since that is what you've got in the raise, therefore

The second one.

Answer:
Mutley would start at 2 feet above sea level or +2, he would then travel 12 feet below sea level (-12) to then return to the surface of the ocean (0). The integers from least to greatest: -12, 0, 2. Visual:
-12(dive level) * * * * * * * * * * * 0(sea level) * 2(boat)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using positive and negative integers, we can determine Mutleys journey above, below and at the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean represents his 'origin' or starting point, which is 0. The boat is above the surface or +2. When Mutley dives below the surface, he is at a negative level of the ocean. Think of it in terms of a number line - negative numbers are to the left of 0 and positive numbers are to the right of 0. The further we go to the left on the number line, the lower our number. In this case, -12 would be furthest to the left, then 0, followed by 2.
Hi there!
To find x, you would need to use the inverse of subtraction (addition) and inverse of division (multiplication), since you'd need to isolate x to one side of the equation to set x equal to a number.
