Equation of Exponential Functions

This graph models y = (0.2)^x - 3. Which statement describes what happens to the y value as x increases?

• As the value of x becomes very large, the value of y approaches - 0.2.

• As the value of x becomes very large, the value of y approaches -3.

• As the value of x becomes very large, the value of y approaches -2.

• As the value of x becomes very large, the value of y will gradually

  decrease to negative infinity.

When they were first discovered they covered 4 square kilometers. As the population grows, the plants spread and cover more land. How many years will it take for the plants to occupy 400 km²?

• 8 years

• 9 years

• 10 years

• 11 years
