What is the decay factor of the exponential function represented by the table?

Mathematics

bulgar [2K]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

m=3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4m+7= -5

Combine like terms.Put +7 on other side.

-4m= -5-7

-4m= -12

It's -4 times m = -12 right ?

So the answer is m=3 because m= -12/-4

What is the magnitude of the position vector whose terminal point is (6, -4)?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

  2√13

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for this. One end of the vector is (0, 0), so the measure of its length is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²) = √((6 -0)² +(-4-0)²)

  = √(36 +16) = √52 = √(4·13)

  d = 2√13 = |(6, -4)|
