Find the exponential function f(x)=Ca^x whose graph goes through the points (0,4) and (3,32)
f(x)=4(2^x)
whats a and whats c
just apply the given info\[f(x)=Ca^x\]\[f(0)=Ca^0=C=4\]\[f(3)=4a^3=32\to a^3=8\to a=2\]
Take a look at Turing Test's post.
thanks
can you take a look at two more questions pls
Ok
The graph of the function f(x)=6^(x−8) can be obtained from the graph of g(x)=6^(x) by shifting the graph of g(x) to the right 8 units The range of the function f(x) is (A,∞) what is the value of A?
So, you're asking what the minimum value for the range is?
they want the value of A
I'm assuming that's whats being asked. So in 6^(x-8)...if x equals 8 then the exponent equals zero, right?
And as x gets larger than 8, then the exponent becomes postive and the equation goes to infinity exponentially.
So what happens to the equation when x is smaller than 8? It becomes a negative exponent. And what happens to an exponential function with a negative exponent?
hey i got to go. if you type out the solutions i will be back to see it. thanks for the help
The graph behaves exactly like the exponential function 6^x expect that it is shifted to the right by 8 and so the y intercept is at x=8. Think about what happens to an exponential function as the exponent becomes negative. What value does it approach, but never actually gets to?
