The exponential decay function is ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the exponential decay function

- The general form of an exponential Function is ,

 where a is the initial value and b is growth factor

- If b > 1 , then the function is exponential growth function

- If 0 < b < 1 , then the function is exponential decay function

- The function can be written as

# Remember: if 0 < b < 1 , then 1/b > 1 , then change the negative

  sign of the power by reciprocal the growth factor to decide the

  function is growth or decay

* Lets solve the problem

1.

∵ b = 7/4

∵ 7/4 is greater than 1

∴ f(x) is an exponential growth function

2.

- Change the (-x) to x by reciprocal (4/5) to (5/4)

∴

∵ b = 5/4

∵ 5/4 is greater than 1

∴ f(x) is an exponential growth function

3.

- Change the (-x) to x by reciprocal (8/7) to (7/8)

∴

∵ b = 7/8

∵ 7/8 is greater than 0 and smaller than 1 ⇒ 0 < 7/8 < 1

∴ f(x) is an exponential decay function

* The exponential decay function is

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
