Question

I got this question wrong can you tell me what i did wrong

Answer 1

If b is a positive number, and a is any real number, then an exponential function is

`\begin{gathered} f(x)=ab^x \\ \text{where} \\ a\text{ is the coefficient} \\ b\text{ is the base} \\ x\text{ is the exponent} \end{gathered}`

In the given function f(x), we have the following

`\begin{gathered} f(x)=3(0.25)^x \\ 3\text{ is the coefficient} \\ 0.25\text{ is the base} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, in the given function f(x), the coefficient of the exponential function is 3. The base is 0.25.
