Can anyone help me please ?

Basically, everything except choice A.

=========================================================

Explanation:

All exponential functions can be written into the form y = a*b^x

The b term determines if we have growth or decay.

If 0 < b < 1, then we have decay. If b > 1, then we have growth.

------------

For choice A, we have b = 1.7 which satisfies b > 1. This represents growth. So we cross choice A off the list.

Choice B looks almost identical since it appears b = 1.7 here as well, but note the negative exponent. It might help to rewrite choice B into y = 3( 1.7^(-2) )^x and note how b = (1.7)^(-2) = 0.346 approximately. This represents decay.

Choice C has b = 1/3 = 0.33 approximately which is also decay.

Finally, choice D has b = 2^(-1) = 1/(2^1) = 1/2 = 0.5 which is also decay.

Choices B through D have b values such that 0 < b < 1.

Check out the graph below. It visually confirms the answers mentioned earlier. A growth function goes uphill as we move to the right, while a decay function moves downhill while moving to the right.

I used GeoGebra to make the graph.

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d
