Question 1136695: Given the equation y=35(0.57)^x
(a) Does this equation represent growth or decay?
(b) What is the rate of growth or decay?
(c) What is the initial value
(d) Evaluate for x=3
(I can tell it is decay, but for the rest I am lost)

Answer by MathLover1(20850)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
recall:

if , represents function
if , represents function
you are given

(a) Does this equation represent growth or decay?
since =>, and your function represents

(b) What is the rate of growth or decay?

recall: where is rate of decay, is initial value
in your case =>=>


(c) What is the initial value


(d) Evaluate for
