- For the revenue model in Exercise 10.205 and Exercise 10.209, explain what the x-intercepts mean to the computer store owner.arrow_forwardIf the function y=e−3x is vertically stretched by a factor of 4, reflected across the y-axis, and then shifted up 5 units, which is the resulting function?arrow_forwardFor each year, t, the population of a forest of trees, call it Forest A, is represented by the function A(t) = 85(1.026)*. In a neighboring forest, call it Forest B, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function B(t) = 113(1.021)*. Do the functions represent growth or decay? Which forest has a larger growth or decay factor? Which forest had a greater number of trees initially? In a third forest, call it Forest C, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function C(t) = 123 + (2.3)t. Is the function for Forest C linear, exponential, or neither?arrow_forward
