Decide whether the function is an exponential growth or exponential decay function, and find the constant percentage rate of growth or decay. f(x) = 3.6 ⋅ 1.04x

Exponential growth; percentage rate of growth is 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function,

represents an exponential growth function because the growth factor is greater than 1.

The general form of an exponential growth function is,

, where 'r' is the percentage rate of growth.

If we compare the given equation with the standard form of the equation we can see that, we have,

Therefore, the percentage rate of growth is = .

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1

if you need just tell me and i will come to the rescue.
