Graph the function

Question

f(x)=25,000(0.80)^1

Answer 1

The function you've provided, $f(x)=25,000(0.80{)}^1$, is actually a constant value since ${0.80}^1=0.80$. Therefore, we can simplify it as follows:

$$f(x)=25,000\times 0.80=20,000$$

This means that $f(x)$ is always equal to 20,000, regardless of the value of $x$.

To graph this function, you would draw a horizontal line at $y=20,000$ across all values of $x$.

Here’s a simple representation:

In this graph:

• The horizontal line represents the function $f(x)=20,000$.
• It stretches across all values of $x$, indicating that the output (y-value) is always 20,000.
