1 answer

Let's break down each question you provided and determine the correct responses.

  1. Range of the function \(f(x) = 3(1/2)^x - 6\):

    • The base \(1/2\) is less than 1, thus the function decreases as \(x\) increases. As \(x\) approaches negative infinity, \(f(x)\) approaches positive infinity, and as \(x\) approaches positive infinity, \(f(x)\) approaches \(-6\). Thus, the range is:
    • Response: \(y \ge -6\)
  2. Range of the function \(h(x) = 49(2/7)^x\):

    • Again, since \(2/7 < 1\), this function also decreases as \(x\) increases. As \(x\) approaches negative infinity, \(h(x)\) approaches positive infinity, and as \(x\) approaches positive infinity, \(h(x)\) approaches 0, but never actually reaches it. Thus, the range is:
    • Response: \(y > 0\)
  3. Y-intercept of the function \(y = 0.5(6)^x\):

    • The y-intercept occurs when \(x = 0\). Substituting \(x = 0\): \[ y = 0.5(6)^0 = 0.5(1) = 0.5 \]
    • Response: \(0.5\)
  4. Ordered pairs for the function \(y = 5(1/4)^x\) with x-values -2, -1, 0, and 1:

    • Let's calculate the corresponding \(y\)-values:
      • For \(x = -2\): \[ y = 5(1/4)^{-2} = 5(4) = 20 \]
      • For \(x = -1\): \[ y = 5(1/4)^{-1} = 5(4) = 20 \]
      • For \(x = 0\): \[ y = 5(1/4)^{0} = 5(1) = 5 \]
      • For \(x = 1\): \[ y = 5(1/4)^{1} = 5(0.25) = 1.25 \]
    • The ordered pairs are:
    • Response: \((−2,80), (−1,20), (0,5), (1,1.25)\)
  5. Write the correct exponential equation based on the description:

    • If the curve starts and grows according to the points and characteristics described, you would choose the parameterization consistent with the shape and growth described.
    • Since I don't have details about the graph and points, I cannot confirm the exact equation based on visual information. Generally, check the base's value to see if it's greater or less than 1 to determine if it's increasing or decreasing.
    • If the function is increasing, it should be an equation with a base greater than 1, and one with a base less than 1 if it's decreasing.

Given this analysis, you should revise selections based on the specific graph characteristics you see, especially for the last question.
