Answer:
The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equations are usually in the form;
where;
a is the initial value, that is the value of y when x is 0,
b is the growth or decay factor and also the base of the exponential function
If b>1, then it is an exponential growth function and the values of y keep getting bigger.
if 0<b<1, then it is an exponential decay function and the y values keep getting smaller as x increases.
In the function given;
The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.
In order to justify our prediction, we can simply obtain the graph of the function and check on how x and y vary.
From the attachment below we can see that the values of y become increasingly smaller as the values of x increases in magnitude which justifies our predictions.
<h3>Answer: B. (-1, 0)</h3>
This point is below both the red diagonal line and the blue parabola. We know that the set of solution points is below both due to the "less than" parts of each inequality sign.
In contrast, a point like (2,2) is above the parabola which is why it is not a solution. It does not make the inequality true. So this is why we can rule choice A out.
Choice C is not a solution because (4,1) does not make true. This point is not below the red diagonal line. We can cross choice C off the list.
Choice D is similar to choice A, which is why we can rule it out as well.
