The function has a y-intercept of (0, 4) and a multiplier of 0.8. 1) Whats the initial value? 2) Is it exponential growth or decay? 3) What is the exponential equation?

1) 4

2) exponential decay

3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The initial value or an exponential function is the y-intercept.

Let us consider a standard exponential function of the form y(x) = a•bˣ , if you put in x = 0 (initial value) we get:

y(0) = a•bˣ = a•b⁰ = a•1 = a , so the y-intercept is a , which is called the initial value.

Therefore the y intercept is 4

2) Since the multiplier is greater than 0 and less than one, it is an exponential decay

3) standard exponential function of the form y(x) = a•bˣ, at (0,4),

4 = a(b)⁰

a = 4

b = multiplier = 0.8

Therefore:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

where is the graph? need more info
