To determine whether the table represents an exponential growth function, an exponential decay function or neither
Answer to Problem 4Q
The given table represents an exponential growth function
Explanation of Solution
Given:
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
y | 7 | 21 | 63 | 189 |
Concept Used:
Concept Used:
If values of independent variable x changes by same constant amount and values of dependent variable y are multiplied by a constant factor then the function is said to be exponential.
If the multiple is greater than 0 then the function is said to be exponential growth function and if it is less than 0 then the function is said to be an exponential decay function.
As x is increased by 1, and y is multiplied by 3, so this is an exponential function.
Since, y is multiple of 3 which is a whole number.
Therefore,
Given table represents exponential growth function.
