Which function represents exponential decay? f(x) =1/2(3/2)^x f(x) =1/2(-3/2)^x f(x) = 4(-2/3)^x f(x) = 4(2/3)^x

OpenStudy (alyssa_marie_gunn1):

Please help please

OpenStudy (rekta):

ill help

OpenStudy (alyssa_marie_gunn1):

idk how to do this kind of stuff

OpenStudy (rekta):

its the last one

OpenStudy (rekta):

D

OpenStudy (alyssa_marie_gunn1):

are u sure

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Please don't give direct answers! :( The exponential growth/decay function is modeled by \(y=Ce^{kt}\), and the value of the rate, variable \(k\), would be negative if you have a decay function.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Well, it would be that, but I have no idea which one of yours would fit that bill... sorry. Perhaps some more experienced and knowledgeable tutors like @Directrix or @agent0smith can help? (sorry for summoning you so much agent0 haha)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It's decay if the base (with the exponent attached) is a number between 0 and 1.
