Question

HELP....... :PDecide if the function is an exponential growth function or exponential decay function, and describe its end behavior using limits......y=0.8^x

Answer 1

decay

Answer 2

as the base is less than 1, as x increases, so will the value of y decrease

Answer 3

try it yourself: if
x = 1, y = ...?
now if x = 5, y = ...?

Answer 4

0.8^5=0.32768?
y=.8?

Answer 5

yep, perfect
and as x increases, y will decrease and almost but never quite reach 0
as x decreases, y will increase and almost but never quite reach 1

Answer 6

so for positive values for x, i suppose the limits would be 0 - infinity, yielding y values of 1 - 0

Answer 7

ish

Answer 8

sorry my internet went out , thank you!
