Which function is shown in the graph below? On a coordinate plane, an exponential function shows decay. It rapidly decreases into quadrant 1 and approaches y = 1 in quadrant 1.
y = (one-half) Superscript x + 3 Baseline minus 1
y = (one-half) Superscript x minus 3 Baseline + 1
y = (one-half) Superscript x minus 1 Baseline + 3
y = (one-half) Superscript x + 1 Baseline minus 3

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function.a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.
