Question

Identify the type of function represented by f(x)=4(1/3)^x

Answer 1

Another answer could be Exponential decay

Explanation:

Answer 2

Exponential Decay

Explanation:

Here, The given function is,

`f(x) = 4( (1)/(3))^x`

Where, x is written as exponent of 1/3.

Since, If x ( input value of a function ) as exponent of any number then it would be exponent function.

⇒ f(x) is an exponential function,

Now, if an exponential function is,

`f(x) = ab^x`

Then, for the value 0<b<1, the function is decay.

While, for, the value of b>1, the function is growth.

Here, b = 1/3 and 0 < 1/3 < 1,

Thus, the given function is Exponential Decay
