Question

Use the equation to identify a and b * a = 1/5 and b = 3 a = 3 and b = 1/5 a= 1/5 and b =1 a = 1 and b = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

$a = 3$

$b = \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 3(\frac{1}{5})^x$ --- Missing from the question

Identify a and b

The given equation is an exponential function and the general form is:

$f(x) = ab^x$

When $f(x) = ab^x$ is compared to $f(x) = 3(\frac{1}{5})^x$

We have that: $a = 3$ and $b = \frac{1}{5}$
