Question

Can someone help me with these functions

Answer 1

Function 1:

The starting point is (0,0.5)

As x increases, y increases

Function 2:

The starting point is (0,3)

As x increases, y decreases

Explanation:

In order to find the starting point, we need to plug in x=0.

`y=0.5+3(0)\\\\y=0.5`

`y=3(0.5)^0\\\\y=3(1)\\\\y=3`

As we plug in increasing numbers into function#1, the y-value increases

As we plug in increasing numbers into function #2, the y-value is decreasing
