The graph represents the function f(x) = 10(2)^x.
General Idea:
The exponential function will be of the form[tex] y=a(b)^x [/tex].
When b>1, the function indicates the exponential growth.
When 0<b<1, the function indicates the exponential decay.
Applying the concept:
We are given the graph of [tex] y=10(2)^x [/tex], here b = 2.
The question ask the characteristic of the function when b is in the interval [tex] 1<b< 2 [/tex]. The attached figure shows few graphs of exponential function whose b value is less than 2 and greater than 1. We can notice that graph increases at slower rate, that is change in y with respect to change in x is getting slower as we reduce the values of b less than 2 and greater than 1.
Conclusion:
"The graph will increase at a slower rate"
Answer: Hence, Third and Fourth options are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
[tex]f(x)=10(2)^x[/tex]
Since it is in the form of exponential function:
As we know the general form of exponential function is given by
[tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]
Here, a denotes the initial amount.
b denotes the rate of growth.
If b is decreased but remains greater than 1.
Then, the graph will still increases but in slower rate.
and the value of y continue to increase as x increases.
Hence, Third and Fourth options are correct.
