ok

nooonooooo

Luigi0210:

So what I came up with: \[\large y=7^{(x-1)}\] You can verify by pluggin in values: x=0 \[\large y= 7^{-1} = \frac{1}{7} \] x= 1 \[\large y=7^0 =1\] x= 2 \[\large y=7^1=7 \]

Luigi0210:

If you want it with a base of 1/7 you could factor out a negative: \[\large y=7^{-(-x+1)} = \frac{ 1}{7^{(1-x)}} \]

Luigi0210:

Honestly, you can start with any base, it doesn't necessarily have to be the value at x=0.

Luigi0210:

As long as it works, of course. Starting with the value at x=0 is just a way to have an idea of what it could be.

TinoTheTurtle:

@luigi0210 so.. which of the answers should i try

TinoTheTurtle:

theres only one correct answer btw, i shouldve mentioned that earlier

Luigi0210:

They are both the same function basically. But if you're looking for a function involving the base at x=0, then the fraction.

TinoTheTurtle:

it told me some parts of my expression were correct, and some were wrong

@luigi0210

Luigi0210:

lol try just the fraction.

TinoTheTurtle:

it told me it was incorrect, is there any way you would like me to try it?

Luigi0210:

Try just the 7^ (x-1) If it's not that... then either I need to reevaluate my math skills or the answer key is wrong lol

@luigi0210 HELP THICK BOI

Luigi0210:

That is literally the same function too, if you graph them side-by-side.. you should complain loll

TinoTheTurtle:

question mark

Luigi0210:

But okay, using the "format" they want I came up with this: \[\large 8*(2)^x \]

Luigi0210:

At -1, it becomes 8*(1/2) at 0 it is 8*1 at 1 it is 8*2 at 2 it is 8*4

TinoTheTurtle:

LOL ITS WRONG

TinoTheTurtle:

i think its me.... idk
