Without graphing, determine whether the function represents exponential growth or exponential decay. then find the y-intercept. f(x)=3(0.59)^x

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

exponential growth , y-intercept 3

Discussion:

Any equation of the form   b^x          (b a constant) models exponential growth.

The y-intercept value is the value of y when x = 0, that is,

y = 3 (0.59)^0 = 3 * 1 = 3

Thank you,

MrB

y-intercept 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
