Write an equation for each of the three graphs below Solutio
Write an equation for each of the three graphs below:
Solution
red graph : exponential growth function y = ab^x
passes though ( 0, 1) .So, 1 = a ; y = b^x
Passes though ( 1, 4) : 4 = b^1 ; b = 4
y = 4^x
Similarly green : expoential decay
passes through ( 0, 6) and (1 , 2)
So, y = 6(2)^-x
blue graph : a linear function
y = mx + c
passes through :( 0, 3) and (1 , 7)
slope = ( 7 -3)/(1 -0) = 4
y = 4x + c ; c = 3
y = 4x + 3
