Determine whether the equation is exponential growth or exponential decay

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 years ago
4 0

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. decay
  2. decay
  3. growth

Step-by-step explanation:

If the base of a positive exponential is greater than 1, the function is a growth function. If it is less than 1, the function decays.

Remember that a^-1 = 1/a, so a negative exponential can be transformed to a positive one.

__

1. y = 2(11/5)^-x = 2(5/11)^x . . . . 5/11 < 1, so decay

2. y = e^(-2x) = (1/e^2)^x . . . . 1/e^2 < 1, so decay

3. y = 1/4e^x . . . . e > 1, so growth

_____

e ≈ 2.71828 . . . an irrational number

A ball is launched straight up in the air from a height of 6 feet. Its velocity (feet/second) t seconds after launch is given by
german

Step-by-step explanation:

A ball is launched straight up in the air from a height of 6 feet. The velocity as a function of time t is given by :

f(t) = -32 t+285

Height of the ball is :

h(t)=\int\limits{f(t){\cdot} dt}\\\\h(t)=\int\limits{(-32t+285){\cdot} dt}\\\\h(t)=-16t^2+285t+C

C is constant. Here the ball is launched from a height of 6 feet. So,

h(t)=-16t^2+285t+6

At t = 2 s, h(t)=-16(2)^2+285(2)+6=512\ m

At t = 9 s, h(t)=-16(9)^2+285(9)+6=1275\ m

Between 2 s and 9 s, the ball's height changed is : 1275 - 512 = 763 m.

What is the discontinuity and zero of the function f(x) = the quantity of 3 x squared plus x minus 4, all over x minus 1? A. Dis
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The correct option is D. Discontinuity at (1, 7), zero at (negative four thirds, 0)  

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The function is given to be : }f(x)=\frac{3x^2+x-4}{x-1}\\\\\implies f(x)=\frac{(3x+4)(x-1)}{(x-1)}

To find the point of discontinuity :

Put the denominator equal to 0

⇒ x - 1 = 0

⇒ x = 1

Also, if the factor (x - 1) gets cancel, then it becomes a hole rather than a asymptote , ⇒ y = 3x + 4 at x = 1

⇒ y = 7

So, Point of discontinuity : (1, 7)

And the zero is : after cancelling the factor (x - 1) put the remaining factor = 0

⇒ 3x + 4 = 0

⇒ 3x = -4

⇒ x = negative four thirds ( zero of the function)

Therefore, The correct option is D. Discontinuity at (1, 7), zero at (negative four thirds, 0)
