i know that the graph is exponential, but idk what the equation should be.

20 questions, this looks like a test or a quiz....

emmagrace231 (emmagrace231):

it is just practice work for algebra. we are only graded for showing work and participation.

I have to do a test in 5 minutes, so I need to get some stuff to take it. Maybe @ganeshie8 @Directrix @rebeccaxhawaii can help you.

emmagrace231 (emmagrace231):

can anyone? i don't understand how to do this

Directrix (directrix):

Hold on. I'm trying to read the question.

Directrix (directrix):

These look like points on the graph. (0,40) (1,20) (2,10) (3,5) It appears that as x goes up by 1, the corresponding y value is halved.

Directrix (directrix):

I am thinking that the equation is something similar to y = a* (1/2)^x.

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

You figured out it was exponential. So it gonna be written like \(f(x)=a(b)^{x}\) f(0)=a(b)^0=a and f(0)=40 so a=40 f(1)=ab=40b and f(1)=20 so b=1/2 That means \(f(x)=40(\frac{1}{2})^{x}\)

Directrix (directrix):

If x = 0, then y = 40. Try y = 40*(1/2) ^x.

Directrix (directrix):

Let's look at the graph to be sure.

emmagrace231 (emmagrace231):

ok

emmagrace231 (emmagrace231):

i medaled you @Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

This graph makes it appear that the function touches the x axis. it does not. But, we can check those points.

Directrix (directrix):

I think it is okay. Thanks for the medal.

Directrix (directrix):

There are different ways to write the equation: y = 40*(1/2) ^x I don't know if this question has options.

Directrix (directrix):

One way to write it is this: y = 5 * 2 ^ (3 - x)
