Answer:
we CANNOT DIVIDE 3 with 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here,as given in the question:
Starting value = 6
Constant ratio = 1/3
Now, exponential function is obtained by the product of starting value and the constant ratio repeatedly.
⇒ f(x) = (Starting value) x (ratio)... x times
[tex]\implies f(x) = 6 (\frac{1}{3} )^x = 6 (\frac{1}{3} ) (\frac{1}{3} ) (\frac{1}{3} ) .... x[/tex]
Now, we CANNOT DIVIDE 3 with 6 as it is in the power of x.
Hence, [tex]\implies f(x) = 6 (\frac{1}{3} )^x[/tex] and [tex]f(x) \neq 2^x[/tex]
Answer:
The student made an error by applying the exponent to the product of a and b instead of just b. The final answer should be f(x)=6(1/3)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
U can't multiply 6 by 1/3
