Question

E.J. has shown that a function, f(x), grows by 12% for every unit in the domain. What does this prove?

The function f(x) is an arithmetic sequence.
The function f(x) is a geometric sequence.
The function f(x) is not a sequence.
This does not prove anything.

Answer 1

Answer 2

To solve it, first we need to know what's the problem telling us.
let's say f(0)=a

Answer 3

so, what do we get for f(1)?

Answer 4

please note that f(x) increases 12% for each unit

Answer 5

We need to know what does 12% represents 12% is 0.12 written in decimal numbers
Right? So, if we're increasing 12% the previous value, how do you think we can write it?

Answer 6

0<x<.12 ? @Miracrown sorry my connection was a little bad and f(1)=.12 f(2)=.24 etc.

Answer 9

look at the part about geometric sequences

Answer 10

y = A*r^x

when 0 < r < 1

exponential decay

Answer 11

A geometric sequence is defined as a sequence in which the quotient of any two consecutive terms is a constant.

Answer 12

If the next term is always 12 percent larger than the previous. It will fall under that definition

Answer 13

If you divide the (n+1)th term by the nth term, you will get a constant

Answer 14

so its a geometric sequence (the 3rd one?) @DanJS

Answer 15

geometric , yes

Answer 16

growing "geometrically" (or "exponentially")
