The graph of an exponential function is given. Which of the following is the correct equation of the function? (2 points)
Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
WE are given a graph of exponential function and asked to find out of four functions which function the graph represents.
We find that any function of the form
[tex]y=a^x[/tex]
passes through (0,1) for all a
Hence we cannot distinguish any thing from the point
Let us consider when x=1
Then first function will have point as (1,2.4)
II funciton (1,0.31)
III function (1,0.45)
IV funciton (1,1.8)
From the graph given we find that the point of y is less than 1. Hence it can be either II or III
Consider x=-1
Then II function has point as (-1,3.225) and III function has point as (-1,2.222)
From the graph we find that the graph satsified only the point (-1,2.2222)
Hence OPtion III is right
Answer:
[tex]y=0.31^{x}[/tex]
B is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given exponential function graph. We need to choose correct equation of exponential function.
in graph we can see start from II quadrant and end in I quadrant.
It would be decay exponential function.
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
b must be less than for given graph.
y-intercept of given graph is (0,1)
a=1, because y-intercept gives initial value of graph.
0<b<1
In the given option B and C whose b is less than 1.
Now, we take another point x=-1
For x=-1, the value of y of given graph between 3 and 4
Now we find value of y for x=-1
For option B: [tex]y=0.31^{-1}=3.2[/tex]
For option C: [tex]y=0.45^{-1}=2.2[/tex]
Hence, B is correct equation for given graph.
