Which graph models the function f(x) = −2(3)x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's see... It's an exponential function. And it's negative, so which way is it pointing? Up or down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the first one? @alias

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@alias

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can tell what the y-intercept is right? From that you can eliminate two answers already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true the y intercept is 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, to fin y-int, just evaluate function at x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..., when you substitute 0, you get -3(1/3) - 2, so it's -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember, you're not dealing with straight lines, but rather exponential functions, hey work kinda differently...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so it's the first one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it's negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it's negative, f(x) should be the largest when x is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means that it starts up...
