2.g(x)=(3/2)^
3.h(x)=1.08^
4.j(x)=(1/3)^

please answer correctly ​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.g(x)=(3/2)^x

3.h(x)=(1.08)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find the exponential growth function.

As, we know,

Exponential growth function is of the form, $F(x)=(1+r)^x$, where r is the rate of growth.

If 'r' is positive, then the function is a growth function and if 'r' is negative, then the function is a decay function.

So, comparing the options, we have,

1. $f(x)=(0.75)^x$ i.e. $f(x)=(1-0.25)^x$

So, the function is not a growth function.

2. $g(x)=(3/2)^x = (1.5)^x$ i.e. $g(x)=(1+0.5)^x$

So, the function is an exponential growth function.

3. $h(x)=(1.08)^x$ i.e. $h(x)=(1+0.08)^x$

So, the function is an exponential growth function.

4. $j(x)=(1/3)^x=(0.33)^x$ i.e. $j(x)=(1-0.67)^x$

So, the function is not a growth function.

Hence, the growth functions are $g(x)=(3/2)^x$ and $h(x)=(1.08)^x$.

So, options 2 and 3 are correct.
