The option are missing in the question. The options are :

A.  P = 2, a = 1

B.  $P=\frac{1}{2} ;  a =\frac{1}{3}$

C. $P=\frac{1}{2} ;  a =1$

D. P = 2, a = 3

Solution :

The given function is $f(x)= Pa^x$

So for the function to be an exponential growth, a should be a positive number and should be larger than 1. If it less than 1 or a fraction, then it is a decay. If the value of a is negative, then it would be between positive and negative alternately.

When the four option being substituted in the function, we get

A). It is a constant function since $2(1^x)=2$

B). Here, the value of a is a fraction which is less than 1, so it is a decay function. $f(x)=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^x$

C). It is a constant function since the value of a is 1.

D). Here a = 3. So substituting, as the value of x increases by 1, the value of the function, f(x) increases by 3 times.

  $f(x)=2(3)^x$

Therefore, option (D). represents an exponential function.

Between which two integers does √11 lie?
lianna [129]

Answer:

B.  3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the numbers between which √11 lies, let us first guess the nearest perfect squares to √11. These are 9 and 16. Where 9 comes just before 11 and 16 comes just after 11. Now we have to write all three of them in ascending order.

√9 , √11  ,  √16

also

√9= 3 and √16 = 4

and

√9 < √11 < √16

3 < √11 < 4

hence we can see that √11 must lies between 3 and 4
