Question

Which graph represents exponential decay? On a coordinate plane, a straight line has a negative slope. On a coordinate plane, a graph starts at (negative 2, 0) and curves up and to the right into quadrant 1. On a coordinate plane, a graph approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1 and curves up into quadrant 2. On a coordinate plane, a graph approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and curves up into quadrant 1.

Answer 1

The answer is C

Explanation:

I just took the test on edge

Answer 2

The correct option is (C).

Explanation:

The exponential function representing decay is as follows:

`y=y_(0)\cdot e^(kt);\ k<0`

Here,

y = final value

y₀ = initial value

k = growth rate

t = time passed

The graph represents exponential decay is:

"On a coordinate plane, a graph approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1 and curves up into quadrant 2."

Thus, the correct option is (C).
