Which of the following is the function representing the graph below? A. f(x) = 4x B. f(x) = 4x − 3 C. f(x) = 4x + 3 D. f(x) = 4(x + 3)

please help , i'm pretty sure the answer is C

@pooja195

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha you're a genius please help

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you listed straight line graphs, the graph is a curve...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i forgot the last option is f(x) = 4^(x + 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the options they gave me.. @amorfide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Gabylovesyou @ElonaSushchik @Nnesha

OpenStudy (amorfide):

well it will have to be f(x) = 4^(x + 3) because the others are straight line graphs and the only way to get a curve in this case I would believe to be logs \[y=4^{(x+3)}\] then you look at the graph given and you wanna substitute the negative x values to see what y values you get, draw the graph see if it matches you will most likely have to take the natural log of both sides to get \[lny=\ln4 ^{(x+3)}\] \[lny=(x+3)\ln4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure because usually i just graph the options and whatever it is , it matches with the graph but this one seems complicated , i picked c because it's going 3 to the left but i'll go with D as you said

Nnesha (nnesha):

if you look at answer choices only u can easily find your answer y = mx + b this is linear equation which suppose to be straight line

OpenStudy (amorfide):

A. f(x) = 4x B. f(x) = 4x − 3 C. f(x) = 4x + 3 D. f(x) = 4(x + 3) A has a gradient of 4 the graph does not B has a y intercept of -3 the graph does not C has a y intercept of 3 the graph does not D has a y intercept of 12 from the looks of it the graph does not E is your only option

OpenStudy (amorfide):

or you can look at the gradient for A B C and D they all have a gradient of 4 the graph shown does not

Nnesha (nnesha):

and there is no E rofl wait give him a chance to think about it

OpenStudy (amorfide):

there is an E E is f(x) = 4^(x + 3)

Nnesha (nnesha):

ohh welll u already gave him a answer but that is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh there is no E , D is f(x) = 4^(x + 3) but i wrote it wrong i'm sorry

Nnesha (nnesha):

y = mx + b linear equation which mean straight line if you focus on this in this equation none of variable have exponent so

OpenStudy (amorfide):

lol oh my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's C right , because it's going 3 to the left?

Nnesha (nnesha):

there is only one equation with exponent

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm C) f(x) = 4x + 3\] is there any exponent ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer has to have an exponent?

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1426032438866:dw|there is not any exponent
