Algebra.Com's Answer #14530 by longjonsilver(2297)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! well for growth, as x increases its value, so the value of g^x needs to increase...it is a growth remember!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the number was between 0 and 1, like 0.2, then as the power increases, so 0.2 to that power will give smaller and smaller values...NOT GROWTH\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the number were 1, then any power of 1 is always 1...no growth.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the number were any number greater than 1, then it would increase as the power increased...growth.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So...answer is one of 2 choices. You then have to reason out which (if any) of these are not allowed for other reasons.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I shall leave it up to you to decide :-)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Jon. \n" ); document.write( " |
