What is the difference between vertical stretch and vertical compression?

Vertical stretch is when a>0, and when a is a decimal/fraction it's compressed.

What is the difference between growth or decay?

Exponential growth is when the graph is increasing over time, while exponential decay is when the graph is decreasing over time.

What is the formula for transformations?

f(x) = -a(b)^x+c + d

What can you put in a bucket to make it weigh less?

A hole!!

If a>0, is it vertical stretch or compression?

Vertical Stretch

200

f(x) = 0.5(2)x + 2---Identify if Growth or Decay

It's growth because you have to look at the b-value. If the b-value is less than 1, it's decay. If b>0, then it's exponential growth.

How do you find the Horizontal Asymptote?

It's the d value and it is the line that never meets the graph. Exponential functions never hit the H.A, and you could also call it a limiting factor.

What is at the end of a rainbow?

W; the letter

What is the Horizontal Asymptote?

The H.A is an imaginary line that a graph never meets.

f(x) = -7(0.7)x + 1-Identify if Growth or Decay


It would be Decay because b<0.

How do you find the y-intercept?

The y-intercept is found when you plug zero in for the x-value, and then you simplify.

y=-5(2)^x-2 +3—----List the Transformation for this Function.

-=reflected over x-axis

a=5, vertical stretch

b=2, exponential Growth

c=-2, shift 2 units to the right

d=3, shift up 3 units

400

f(x)= 0.5(3)x + 3

Growth-----b>0

Identify the transformation based on the function: y = -3(0.9)^x-2 + 2

-=reflected over x-axis

a=3; stretched vertically

b=0.9; exponential decay

c=-2; Shift to the right two units

d=2; Shift up 2 units

400

What comes at the end of everything?

G; the letter

500

y=-(0.25)^x +2

-=reflected over x-axis

a=1, no stretch or compression

b=0.25, Exponential Decay

c=0, no shift left or right

d=2, shifted up 2 units

500

f(x) = 3^x

b=0, 0 is less than 1; b<0=decay; This function displays exponential decay.

Hint: PLUG IN THE T VALUE AND USE PEMDAS.

THIS IS AN APPLICATION QUESTION!!!!                                        


PLEASE INCLUDE A UNIT IN YOUR ANSWER

It would be 2441, or F because when you plug in the 6 value for t, you do (2.5)^6. That is 244.140625. Then, you have to multiply that by 10, and then you get 2441.40625. You round down, and you get 2,441 number of bacteria.
