Answer:
The relation represents a growth when b>1 and a decay when 0<b<1
Step-by-step explanation:
Any function in the form , where a > 0, b > 0 and b not equal to 1 is called an exponential function with base b. If 0 < b < 1. It is an example of an exponential decay. The general shape of an exponential with b > 1 is an example of exponential growth. An exponential function is expressed in the form
The relation represents a growth when b >1 and a decay when 0<b<1.
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.
