Which value of a in the exponential function below would cause the function to shrink? f(x) = a(three-halves) Superscript x Four-fifths Five-fourths Three-halves Seven-fourths

Respuesta :

Answer:

Four-fifths

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

By multiplying the function by a constant, we may expand or shrink the function in the y-direction.

Now we have

[tex]y=a(b^{x})[/tex]

if [tex]a> 1[/tex]  > the function would enlarge

if [tex]0< a < 1[/tex] > the function would shrinks

Now

For case A

[tex]a = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]0 < (\frac{4}{5} )< 1[/tex] ....... > the function would shrinks

For case B

[tex]a = \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{5}{4} )>1[/tex] .......> the function would enlarge

For case C

[tex]a = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{3}{2} )>1[/tex] .........> the function would enlarge

For case D

[tex]a = \frac{7}{4}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{7}{4} )>1[/tex] .........> the function would enlarge

Therefore the second option is correct

Answer: 4/5
