The population of a town in Texas is modeled by the function f(x)=16,869(1.037)x. If the initial population (that is, the population when ( x=0) was measured January 1, 2014, what was the initial population?
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.
