Answer:
Explanation:
Challenge 1
We have exponential decline if 0 b 1. As you move from left to right, the curve will get less steep.
If b is greater than 1, exponential growth is present, and the curve slopes upward from left to right.
Examples include exponential decline (y = 2(0.5)x) and exponential growth (y = 2(1.2)x).
Remember that b cannot be negative.
===========================================
Challenge 2
In the general template provided, enter x = 0.
y = a(b)^x
y = a(b)^0
y = a(1) (1)
y = a
When x = 0 is plugged in, the result is y = a.
The curve is therefore on the point (0,a). The y intercept appears here. It is the point when the curve veers off the y axis. The y intercept is altered if the value of "a" is altered.
