An ecologist investigating the effect of air pollution on plant life finds that the percentage, p(x)percent, of diseased trees and shrubs at a distance of x kilometers from an industrial city is given by: p(x)=32 - 3x/50 for 50<_x<_500. Sketch a graph of the function p and find p(50), p(l00), p(400), and p(500). Write a sentence explaining what p(100) represents.
Transformation of Graphs
The word ‘transformation’ means modification. Transformation of the graph of a function is a process by which we modify or change the original graph and make a new graph.
Exponential Functions
The exponential function is a type of mathematical function which is used in real-world contexts. It helps to find out the exponential decay model or exponential growth model, in mathematical models. In this topic, we will understand descriptive rules, concepts, structures, graphs, interpreter series, work formulas, and examples of functions involving exponents.
