Question

Х

The table of values below represent an exponential function. Write an exponential equation that models the data.
у
-2 23
-1 16.1
0 11.27
1 7.889
2 5.5223
a.
y = 23(0.7)
y = 16.1(1.7)
C. y = 11.27(0.7)
d.
y = 11.27(1.3)
b.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C. y = 11.27(0.7^x)

Explanation:

The table value (x, y) = (0, 11.27) tells you the multiplier of the exponential term will be 11.27. The decreasing values tell you the base of the exponential term is less than 1. Only answer choice C matches these requirements.
