Question

Is the equation y = 5(0.5)x an example of growth or decay?

Answer 1

hint:
if for increasing values of x the values of y increases then its an example of growth
if for increasing values of x the values of y decreases then its an example of decay
hope it helps

Answer 2

just think over it , its easy

Answer 3

if the power or exponent is positive its a growth model, if negative its a decay model.

Answer 4

so its growth ._

Answer 5

ofcourse

Answer 6

are you sure

Answer 7

ya 100%

Answer 8

how about y = 8x

Answer 9

its also a growth

Answer 10

how is it a decay

Answer 11

its not a decay its a growth

Answer 12

What is the y-intercept of the function y = 0.5(8)x?
Answer 8
0.5
1

Answer 13

its linear... the power of x is always 1

for an exponential model, the power keeps increasing or decreasing

Answer 14

thanksthe help

Answer 15

y- intercept = 0

Answer 16

0.5

Answer 17

no its zero not 0.5

Answer 18

y = 200(5)x an example of growth or decay

Answer 19

its a growth

Answer 20

y = 1.2(3.8)x an example of growth or decay?

Answer 21

growth
