Which of following statements is true regarding "an exponential decay graph" a.) it becomes asymptotic with regard to the y-axis b.) it rises as you move left to right c.) it often intersects at (0,1) d.) it will always be based upon an increasing function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what are your thoughts on this?

OpenStudy (brittyarellano):

i think that a and b are not viable options but i was gone the day we learned about them so i didn't know if it was c or d

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you know what the graph would look like? or the general shape of the graph?

OpenStudy (brittyarellano):

i know the general idea of what the graphs look like

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

blank xy axis |dw:1480989416287:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one possible exponential decay graph would look like this |dw:1480989459465:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So you are correct in saying that `b.) it rises as you move left to right` is false The function is decreasing as you move from left to right |dw:1480989515192:dw|
