1. The explicit function that represents the data is
f(n) = [tex]4(3)^{n-1}[/tex] and Taryn earned 324 in week 5 ⇒ 4th answer
2. f(x) = 4 represents the common ratio of worm growth ⇒ 3rd answer
3. The reasonable domain for the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30 ⇒ 2nd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The graph passes through points (1 , 4) , (2 , 12) , (3 , 36) , (4 , 108)
∵ 12 ÷ 4 = 3 , 36 ÷ 12 = 3 , 108 ÷ 36 = 3
There is a constant ratio between the y-coordinates of the points on
the graph
∴ The graph represents an exponential function with a growth factor 3
The general form of the exponential function is f(x) = [tex]a(b)^{x}[/tex],
where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor
∵ x-axis represents the number of weeks n
∵ y-axis represents the money earned
∵ The factor of growth b = 3
∵ The points started from n = 1 not zero and initial value found
when the exponent = 0
∴ The exponent must be n - 1
∴ f(n) = [tex]a(3)^{n-1}[/tex]
Substitute the first point in the function to find the value of a
∵ n = 1 and f(n) = 4
∴ 4 = [tex]a(3)^{1-1}[/tex] = [tex]a(3)^{0}[/tex]
∵ [tex]3^{0}=1[/tex]
∴ a = 4
∴ f(n) = [tex]4(3)^{n-1}[/tex]
∵ n = 5
∴ f(5) = [tex]4(3)^{5-1}[/tex] = [tex]4(3)^{4}[/tex] = 4 × 81
∴ f(5) = 324
The explicit function that represents the data is f(n) = [tex]4(3)^{n-1}[/tex]
and Taryn earned 324 in week 5
2.
The annual growth of Noah's worm collection is represented by
the table:
x : 0 2 4
f(x) : 4 16 64
∵ 16 ÷ 4 = 4 , 64 ÷ 16 = 4
There is a constant ratio 4 between each two consecutive values of f(x)
∴ The growth factor of the exponential function is 4
∴ f(x) = 4 represents the common ratio of worm growth
f(x) = 4 represents the common ratio of worm growth
3.
f(x) = [tex]250(1.25)^{x}[/tex], where
250 represent the initial value of population
1.25 is the factor of growth
∵ The function represents the population of the bird in month
September
∵ September is 30 days
∴ The reasonable domain for the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30
When x = 0 the population of bird is 250 ⇒ initial value
When x = 30 the population of the bird is 201948 ⇒ final value
The reasonable domain for the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30
