- Which of the following statements is an exponential function? A y=14x+2 (B) y=(6x)² Ⓒ y=(2x+5)3 Dy=2x³(3x² +9)arrow_forwardA deposit of $100 is placed in a savings account. Each month, the amount deposited is doubled. Write the function that models the exponential change between the number of months, t, and the amount of money deposited in the savings account, a(t). O a(t) = 2.100¹ Oa(t) = 100 - 2¹ O a(t) = 100 O a(t)= ()* (1) = 1 1/2 ² 1 · 100¹arrow_forwardMatch the exponential function with one of the graphs labeled I or II. f(x) = 3× + 1 y y 4 3 1 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 -3 -2 -1 1 3 The graph of f(x) = 3× + 1 is graph I. The graph of f(x) = 3× + 1 is graph II.arrow_forward
- 3 Safin designed and launched an app. One week after he launched the app, it had 8 400 users. Four weeks after he launched the app, it had 23 050 users. The user growth followed the model of an exponential function of the form f(x) = acx, where x: the time elapsed since the app was launched, in weeks f (x): the number of users A company tried to buy Safin's app when it reached 50 000 users. Hoping to make more money, Safin waited and finally sold the app when it reached 400 000 users. To the nearest tenth, how many weeks after the original offer did Safin sell his app?arrow_forward2. A population of bacteria grows exponentially. Initially there was 1500 bacteria. After five hours there was 4500 bacteria. Find a function of time, N (t), which represents the bacteria's population size. (i) Find the population size after ten hours; (ii) Find the time when the population size was 3,000.arrow_forwardThe amount of money in an investment is modeled by the function A(t) = 650(0.7969)'. The variable A represents the investment balance in dollars, and t the number of years since 2001. (A) In 2001, the balance was $ (B) The amount of money in the investment is increasing exponentially (C) The annual rate of change in the balance is r = or r = %. (D) In the year 2009 the investment balance will equal Round answer to the nearest penny. %24arrow_forward
- 1/4.2 Fill in the table of values for each function, then plot your points to graph each curve together on the grid to the right: f(x) = ex f(x) = 4x f(x) = 6* a. x|f(x) = 2x -2 -1 0 b. As the base, b, increases, what happens to the graphs? c. For all of these exponential functions (where b > 1), what's the domain? d. For all of these exponential functions (where b > 1), what's the range? e. For all of these exponential functions (where b > 1), what's the y-intercept? f. For all of these exponential functions (where b > 1), are the graphs increasing or decreasing? g. For all of these exponential functions (where b > 1), is the asymptote vertical or horizontal? h. State the equation of the asymptote:arrow_forwardModel the data using an exponential function f(x) Ab %3D f(x) 125 25 2) 5. 1.arrow_forward2) The value of a plot of land increases 5% every year. The value is $300,000 now, and the owner wants to sell it when the value is at least $400,000. Shanna writes an exponential function of the form, V (t) = a - &, to model the value, V, of the land in t years. The value of b is (A) 1.005 B 1.05 C) 1.5 and the domain is A 0arrow_forwardHow would I solve what f(number inserted) equals?arrow_forwardThe function f(x) = 16(2)x represents the growth of a bee population every year in a remote swamp. Jennifer wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates two times a year, not just once a year. Which function is correct for Jennifer's purpose, and what is the new growth rate? f(x) = 16(2)x; growth rate 200% f(x) = 16(2)2x; growth rate 8% f(x) = 16(1.41)x; growth rate 8% f(x) = 16(1.41)2x; growth rate 41%arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
