Question

Which function does NOT represent exponential growth?

Answer 1

If the are functions and the rate is above 1 then it is growing. If it is below 1, it is decaying

Answer 2

Not functions, equations

Answer 3

Well you get what I mean >_<

Answer 4

yeah i know but i got stuck on this problem lol


the answers are
y=3(0.2)^x
y=0.2(3)^x
y=0.3(2)^x
y=3(2)^x

Answer 5

i was thinking that its not a growth if b is >1 but yeah lol

Answer 6

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle y=a(b)^x }\)

when \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle b>1 }\) it is exponential growth
when \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle b<1 }\) it is an exponential decay
(and obviously \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle b\ne1 }\) )

Answer 7

and, b has to be greater than 0.

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

they are all greater than o so thats why i got confused x'D

Answer 10

*0

Answer 11

in which answer choice(s) is \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle b>1 }\) ?

Answer 12

Ok, so let's look at the rates for each choice.

A.
0.2

B.
3

C.
2

D.
2

Answer 13

Is 0.2 greater than 1?

Answer 14

OH NOO! lol i was thinking that 0.1 is 1 then i remebered it has to be 1.0 to be 1

Answer 15

Right

Answer 16

wow lol

so, what is/are your answer(s) ?

Answer 18

You have just witnessed a brain fart over the internet. congratulations XD

Answer 19

A

Answer 20

yes, A is the one that does NOT represent an exponential growth.

Answer 21
