Answers:
These are the statements that apply:
The initial value is 3.
The range is y >0.
The simplified base is 8.
Explanation:
1) Given expression:
2) Check every statement:
a) The initial value is 3?
initial value ⇒ x = 0 ⇒
∴ The statement is right.
b) The initial value is 48?
Not, as it was already proved that it is 3.
c) The domain is x > 0?
No, because the domain of the exponential functions is all the Real numbers.
d) The range is y > 0?
That is correct, the exponential function is continuous, and monotonon increasing.
The limit when x → - ∞ is zero, but y never reaches zero, and the limit when x → ∞ is + ∞, meaning that the range is y > 0.
e) The simplified base is 12?
This is how you simplify the base:
Which shows that the simplified base is 8 (not 12).
f) The simplified base is 8?
Yes; this was just proved.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let and
. Then, the given equation is essentially
. Thus, we can use the chain rule.
Recall the chain rule: . So, let's find the derivative of each function:
We can use the Power Rule here:
Now:
Again, use the Power Rule and Sum Rule
Now, we can put them together:
