Travka [436]3 years ago

Answer:

option B and option C represent an exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that following are some of the properties of different functions.

Linear Function:

The constant change in x and y

Quadratic Function:

The constant change in x

The constant 2nd differences in y

Exponential Function:

The constant change in x

The constant ratio in y

Determining the nature of the exponential function

Option A)

x       0          1          2         3           4

y       0          1           4         9          16

Here:

There is a constant change in x:

1 - 0 = 1;  2 - 1 = 1;  3 - 2 = 1;  4 - 3 = 1

BUT, there is NO CONSTANT ratio, as

1/0 = ∞,  4/1 = 4,  9/4 ; 16/9

Thus,

Table A DOES NOT represents an exponential function.

Option B)

x       0          1          2         3           4

y       1/3        1           3        9           27

Here:

There is a constant change in x:

1 - 0 = 1;  2 - 1 = 1;  3 - 2 = 1;  4 - 3 = 1

There is also a constant ratio, as

1/[1/3] = 3,  3/1 = 3,  9/3 = 3; 27/9 = 3

As there is constant change in x as well a constant ratio.

Thus,

Table B REPRESENTS an exponential function.

Option C)

x       0          1          2         3           4

y       5          5/2      5/4      5/8       5/16

Here:

There is a constant change in x:

1 - 0 = 1;  2 - 1 = 1;  3 - 2 = 1;  4 - 3 = 1

There is also a constant ratio, as

[5/2]/5= 1/2,

[5/4]/[5/2] = 1/2

[5/8]/[5/4] = 1/2

[5/16]/[5/8] = 1/2

As there is constant change in x as well a constant ratio.

Thus,

Table C REPRESENTS an exponential function.

Option D)

x       0          1          2         3           4

y       4.5       4        3.5       3          2.5

Here:

There is a constant change in x:

1 - 0 = 1;  2 - 1 = 1;  3 - 2 = 1;  4 - 3 = 1

BUT, there is NO CONSTANT ratio, as

4/4.5 = 4/[45/10] = 40/45 = 8/9

3.5/4 = [35/10]/4 = 35/40 = 7/8

3/3.5 = 3/[35/10] = 30/35 = 6/7

2.5/3 = [25/10]/3 = 25/30 = 5/6

Table D  DOES NOT represent an exponential function.

Conclusion:

Therefore, option B and option C represent an exponential function.

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function? A {(22, 5), (23, 10), (22, 7), (23, 5)} B {(22, 5), (26, 10), (23, 7), (23, 5)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a special kind of relation in which each valid input gives exactly one output.

C {(22, 10), (23, 10), (24, 7), (25, 5)}

So C is the correct option.

Peter leaves his house and walks 15 meters south, then turns east and walks another 15 meters. How far is he from his house? Rou
Varvara68 [4.7K]
When Peter does this, he is creating two sides of a right-angle triangle. The distance from his house to that point will be the hypotenuse of the triangle thus, to work out the length of the hypotenuse, we have to use Pythagoras Theorem! So:

a² + b² = c²
15² + 15² = c²
225 + 225 = c²
450 = c²
15√2 = c
21.21320344 = c

So, this rounded to the nearest tenth would be:

21.2 meters !

Nonpermissable replacement for a 4/9a?
My name is Ann [436]
If a=0, then the denominator is equal to 0.  Since you cannot divide by zero, you are not allowed to do this.
Hope This helps!

Jordan wrote the following description. Three fewer than one fourth of x is 12. Write an equation to represent the description??
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1/4x - 3 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says "three fewer," it means subtract three from one fourth of x. "Is" always means the equal sign. Knowing this, we get the equation:

1/4x - 3 = 12

A package of colored paper contains 20 pieces of yellow paper. This represents 25% of the total pieces of colored paper in the p
rewona [7]

<u />the answer may be 125 because 20 pieces of colored paper is only part and then the whole would be 125 because  divided by  is 5 so 25 times 5 is 125.
