Given:

The table of values of an exponential function.

To find:

The decay factor of the exponential function.

Solution:

The general form of an exponential function is:

y=ab^x              ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and 0 is the decay factor and b>1 is the growth factor.

The exponential function passes through the point (0,6). Substituting x=0,y=6 in (i), we get

6=ab^0

6=a(1)

6=a

The exponential function passes through the point (1,2). Substituting x=1,y=2,a=6 in (i), we get

2=6(b)^1

2=6b

\dfrac{2}{6}=b

\dfrac{1}{3}=b

Here, b=\dfrac{1}{3} lies between 0 and 1. Therefore, the decay factor of the given exponential function is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Hence, the correct option is A.

ABC has been translated 5 units to the right, as shown in the diagram. What is the length of A1B1?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is translated ANY amount of units ANYWHERE, the length of each segment AND the angles will ALL be the same.

Why?

Because if you translate something, you are only moving it somewhere else. You aren't stretching the shape or making any modifications. You are simply moving it, and that will only change the coordinates the points will be at.

20 points!
solniwko [45]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope equals rise over run, so you go from your first point which is (0,0) and go up to (2,1), so you rise one and then go over 2, which gives you 1/2

Find the point below that lies on the line y-7=4(x-2)
Phantasy [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

y-7=4(x-2)

we need to simplify the y to het a

y-7=4x-8 (i did 4x-8 because of 4(x-2)

now y= 4x-8+(-7)

after calculating -8+(-7) IT becomes

y=4x-15

okay we have the guide Line

y=4x-15

the a is 4

because

a = {y=a.x+b}

now we need to find the points using this guide Line

y=4x-15

x= 2(you can add any number here ,we Just need to know where the point is )

y= 4(2)-15

y=8-15

y= -7

points are (2,7)
