Need to know how to do this 
Is it a growth or decay? and the y-int. Also how is it graphed?

anonymous · Answer

$$y=0.6(\frac{ 1 }{ 10 })^x$$
This is exactly how it's written in the book.

pinksapphire · Answer

It's decay and has a y-intercept of 0.6...To find if it is decay, look in the parenthesis if the number is less than 1, then it will be decay.

anonymous · Answer

Is the y-int the number in front of the parenthesis always?

pinksapphire · Answer

Yes...it can't be with an x like 2.5x because that would be the slope.

anonymous · Answer

How would I graph an equation like this?

pinksapphire · Answer

Do you have a graphing calculator or an online one?

anonymous · Answer

Yes can I just type it in?

pinksapphire · Answer

Type it in to y=

anonymous · Answer

Well the one I'm doing is a decay and the number in the parenthesis is 2?

Yeah it's a little different...

anonymous · Answer

Yeah well now I'm confused...
