Question

  1. label the graphs with the correct functions.

dotted:
solid:
a. $f(x) = -2 \\cdot 3^{x}$
b. $g(x) = -3 \\cdot 3^{x}$

Étapes de solution

  1. Understand the question
    1. label the graphs with the correct functions.

    dotted:
    solid:
    a. $f(x) = -2 \\cdot 3^{x}$
    b. $g(x) = -3 \\cdot 3^{x}$

  2. Brief Explanations
    1. For exponential functions of the form $y = k \cdot 3^x$, when $k$ is negative, the function is reflected over the x-axis. The magnitude of $k$ determines how "steep" the curve is: a larger magnitude means the function decreases faster as $x$ increases (moves right) and becomes more negative faster as $x$ decreases (moves left).
    2. Test $x=-1$ for both functions:
    • For $f(x) = -2 \cdot 3^x$: $f(-1) = -2 \cdot 3^{-1} = -\frac{2}{3} \approx -0.67$
    • For $g(x) = -3 \cdot 3^x$: $g(-1) = -3 \cdot 3^{-1} = -1$
    1. The dotted graph passes through $x=-1, y\approx-0.67$, matching $f(x)$. The solid graph passes through $x=-1, y=-1$, matching $g(x)$.
  3. Final answer

    dotted: a. $f(x) = -2 \cdot 3^x$
    solid: b. $g(x) = -3 \cdot 3^x$
