Q. Identify the following exponential function as being growth or decay.f(x)=(43)x
Exponential Function Form: Understand the general form of an exponential function. An exponential function is generally given by f(x)=ax, where a is the base. If a > 1, the function represents exponential growth. If 0 < a < 1, the function represents exponential decay.
Base Comparison: Compare the base of the given function to 1. The given function is f(x)=(43)x. Here, the base is 43, which is less than 1 since 43=0.75.
Function Type Determination: Determine if the function represents growth or decay.Since the base 43 is between 0 and 1, the function represents exponential decay.
