Asap ! this is a written response is the equation exponential growth or decay? how do you know? y = 3(0.5)^x

Exponential decay.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the base (also known as the "common factor") tells us whether a given exponential equation represents growth or decay.

Standard equation for expo. growth:  y = 3(b)^x, where b is the base.

If 0<b<1, we have expo. decay; if 1<b, we have expo. growth.

Thus, y = 3(0.5)^x represents expo. decay.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
