I WILL FAN AND MEDAL Which of the following options results in a graph that shows exponential growth? f(x) = 0.4(0.2)x f(x) = 4(0.98)x f(x) = 0.7(5)x f(x) = 5(4)−x

OpenStudy (sooobored):

none of them from the way it is written

OpenStudy (sooobored):

denote exponents by using ^ sign

OpenStudy (coralskates):

ok

OpenStudy (coralskates):

yeah on the question in the actuall lesson all of the x things are exponents

OpenStudy (sooobored):

there is a big difference between \[0.4(0.2)x\] and \[0.4(0.2)^x\] until you make it clear, no one can solve this

OpenStudy (coralskates):

its the raised one it just copied and pasted weird

OpenStudy (sooobored):

however, i still dont know if the problem is suppose to look like \[0.4^{(0.2)}x\]

OpenStudy (sooobored):

copy and paste will not write in expoents for you if the number/variable is raised then you should put a ^ infront of it

OpenStudy (coralskates):

no only the x on all equaions are raised

OpenStudy (sooobored):

so 2^x would look like \[2^x\]

OpenStudy (coralskates):

yes

OpenStudy (sooobored):

something with \[2^{-x}\] means a exponential decrease and is equivalent to \[(\frac{1}{2})^x\]

OpenStudy (coralskates):

im not sure i understand.. math isnt my best subject

OpenStudy (sooobored):

numbers to the expoential x that are greater than 1, are exponentially increasing numbers with the exponent x that are less than 1 , are exponentially decreasing ex.\[3^x --- increasing\] \[.3^x --- decreasing\]

OpenStudy (sooobored):

its the opposite if the exponent is to the -x (negative x)

OpenStudy (coralskates):

ok so it would be one of the last two?

OpenStudy (coralskates):

or sorry

OpenStudy (coralskates):

b and d

OpenStudy (coralskates):

hello?

OpenStudy (sooobored):

are both incorrect

OpenStudy (coralskates):

no a and c are incorrect

OpenStudy (coralskates):

i just need to know if its b or d

OpenStudy (sooobored):

well, my answer would be C

OpenStudy (coralskates):

ok

OpenStudy (coralskates):

f(x) = 0.7(5)x?
