Math 4 Unit 3 Lesson 1

Which of the following is an example of exponential decay?

• y = 3(5)^x

• y = .5(5)^x

• y = 2(.5)^x

• y = 8(1)^x

Which of the following is an example of exponential growth?

• y = 5(.5)^x

• y = .2(.8)^x

• y = .2(6)^x

• y = 50(.9)^x

Which of the following models represents exponential decay?

• y = 5(1 + .05)^t

• y = 5(1 - .05)^t

• y = .8(1 + .05)^t

• y = -2(1 + .05)^t

Solve: 9^8-x = 27^x-3

• x = 5
• x = -5
• x = 1/5
• x = -1/5

Solve: 7^-x = 49

• x = 1
• x = -1
• x = 2
• x = -2

Solve: 2^x = 4^x+1

• x = -2
• x = 2
• x = -3
• x = 3

Sovle for x:
5^{-3x - 1} = 25

• x = -1
• x = -4
• x = -3
• x = 1

Solve 3³ = 3^{4x + 2}

• x = ¼
• x = -¼
• x = ½
• x = -½

Solve for p:
4^p+2 = 64

• p = -16/9
• p = 1
• p = 8
• p = 7/6

Solve 8 = 2^5x+7

• x = ⅘
• x = ¼
• x = -⅘
• x = -¼
