This question is about exponent function. All the function in this question is following a pattern of f(x)= a

In this function, a is the initial/starting quantity and b is the base of the exponent. The option in this problem is about growth/decay that was determined by the base of the exponent. So, to answer this question you just need to pay attention to the variable b
1. Answer: 4% grow
f(x)= a

f(x)= 46(1.04)²
Then the value of the variable would be:
a= 46
b=1.04
Since b is >1 then it is a growing function. The grow in percent would be: (1.04 * 100%) - 100%= 104%-100%=4%
2. Answer: 4% decay
f(x)= a

f(x)= 104(0.96)²
Then the value of the variable would be:
a= 104
b=0.96
Since b is <1 then the function would decay. The rate of change percent would be: (.96 * 100%) - 100%= 96%-100%= -4%. The function rate of change is 4% decay
3. Answer: 40% decay
f(x)= a

f(x)= 74(0.6)²
Then the value of the variable would be:
a= 74
b=0.60
Since b is <1 then the function would decay. The rate of change percent would be: (0.60 * 100%) - 100%= 60%-100%= -40%. The function rate of change is 40% decay
4. Answer: growth 40%
f(x)= a

f(x)= 44(1.4)²
Then the value of the variable would be:
a= 44
b=1.4
Since b is >1 then the function would grow. The rate of change percent would be: (1.40 * 100%) - 100%= 140%-100%= 40%. The function rate of change is 40% growth
5. Answer: 14% decay
f(x)= a

f(x)= 40(0.86)²
Then the value of the variable would be:
a= 40
b=0.86
Since b is <1 then the function would decay. The rate of change percent would be: (0.86 * 100%) - 100%= 86%-100%= -14%. The function rate of change is 14% decay
6. Answer: 14% growth
f(x)= a

f(x)= 8(1.14)²
Then the value of the variable would be:
a= 8
b=1.14
Since b is >1 then the function would grow. The rate of change percent would be: (1.14 * 100%) - 100%= 114%-100%= 14%. The function rate of change is 14% growth
The 3rd Image defines a piecewise function because for it to be a function, every input must match to exactly one and only one output. In Images 1, 2, and 4, there are certain inputs that have two outputs or stated otherwise, have two y-values for the same x-value. Only the 3rd Image matches 1 x-value to every 1 y-value. So, that's your answer.
Answer:
x^2 - 2x + 5 = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
The (0, 5) is the point where the parabola passes through the y axis (where x = 0), so we can write the equation as
y = ax^2 + bx + 5 where a and b are constants to be found.
Also, since (1, 4) and (2, 5) are points on the curve, substituting, we have the system:
a(1)^2 + 1b + 5 = 4
a(2)^2 + 2b + 5 = 5
Simplify these 2 equations:
a + b = -1 .................(1)
4a + 2b = 0..................(2)
Multiply the first equation by -2:
-2a - 2b = 2 .................(3)
Add (2) + (3):
2a = 2
a = 1.
Substitute a = 1 into (2):-
4*1 + 2b = 0
2b = -4
b = -2.
