The graph of the given exponential functions
The value of x where it is equal to 7.0
The doubling time and the half time
The value of x for which the function is 3.5
The value of x for which the function is 14.0
Answer to Problem 30E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given function is
Calculation:
The graph of the function will be
The value of x for which the function is 7,
Therefore,
The function is decreasing; the half time can be calculated. The general for half time is
The value of x for which the function is 3.5,
Therefore,
The value of x for which the function is 14,
Therefore,
