An exponential function can either represent a growth or decay.
- The price of fuel A is increasing.
- Fuel B recorded a greater percentage change in price
<u>Part A</u>
For fuel A, the exponential function is given as:

An exponential function is represented as:

Where b represents the rate.
By comparison

Since b (i.e. 1.04) is greater than 1, then the price of fuel A is increasing.
<u>Part B</u>
The table represents an exponential function.
The rate of fuel B is calculated by dividing the current price by the immediate previous price.
So, we have:


By comparison, 1.06 is greater than 1.04 (the rate of fuel A).
Hence, fuel B recorded a greater percentage change in price

Answer:
40/42 = 20/21
Step-by-step explanation:
widest to narrowest: y=3/2x2, y= -1/2x2, y= 1/4x2
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
- y = 3(x+5)²-4
- y= 3(x²+10x+25)-4
- y= 3x²+30x+75-4
- y= 3x²+30x+71
Derivate the function
solve the equation y'= 0
- y'= 6x+30
- 6x+30= 0
- 6x= -30
- x = -5
The extrme value of y is reached in -5
y = 3(-5+5)²-4= -4
Answer:
ANSWER is B. look at the sides and simplified.
