Question

Decide whether the function is an exponential growth or exponential decay function and find the constant percentage rate of growth or decay. (2 points)

f(x) = 5.9 ⋅ 1.01x

Exponential growth function; 0.01%
Exponential decay function; 101%
Exponential growth function; 1%
Exponential growth function; 101%

please help

Answer 1

r u in connections?

Answer 2

f(x)=5.9.x.(101/100) :)

u can see that the function will increase by 1%

so C

Answer 3

thanks !!

Answer 4

np

Answer 5

so this one is decay right?
Decide whether the function is an exponential growth or exponential decay function and find the constant percentage rate of growth or decay. (2 points)

f(x) - 2034 ⋅ 0.9939x

Exponential growth function; 0.0061%
Exponential decay function; -0.61%
Exponential growth function; -0.61%
Exponential decay function; 0.0061%

Answer 6

yes it is a decay function

Answer 7

and for the percentage? like how do i get it?

Answer 8

ok to get the percentage look at the base which is 0.9939

u can write it as \[\frac{ 99.39 }{ 100 }\]

% means what fraction out of 100

here we can see that it is 99.39%

so this indicates theres a loss of (100-99.39)%=0.61%

so its an exponential decay of 0.61% or u can say exponential growth of -0.61%

note that exponential growth in negative terms indicate loss so its C

Answer 9

thank you very much :) @imqwerty
