Identify the type of function represented by f(x)=3/8(4)^x

A. Exponential Growth
B. Quadratic
C.Linear
D.Exponential Decay

Respuesta :

In Apex its A. Exponetial Growth

Answer:

Option A - Exponential Growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : [tex]f(x)=\frac{3}{8} (4)^x[/tex]

To find : Identify the type of function given ?

Solution :    

The given function is in the form  [tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]

This form is an exponential form in which a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate factor.

If we compare the given expression,  [tex]f(x)=\frac{3}{8} (4)^x[/tex]

The initial value is  [tex]a=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

and the growth/decay rate factor [tex]b=4[/tex]  

Since b>1 then it is a growth factor.

Refer the attached figure below.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

The function  [tex]f(x)=\frac{3}{8} (4)^x[/tex] is an exponential growth function.
