Consider the exponential function f(x)
its
graph.

# The growth value of the function is 1/3 ⇒ 2nd

# f(x) shows exponential decay ⇒ 3rd

# The function is a stretched of the function ⇒ 4th

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the exponential function

- The form of the exponential function is f(x) = a b^x, where a ≠ 0,

  b > 0 , b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- a is the initial value of f(x) ⇒ (when x = 0)

- b is the growth factor

- The exponent is x

- If the growth factor (b) is in between 1 and 0 then it is exponential

 decay

* Lets solve the problem

∵

- Lets find the initial value

∵ At the initial position x = 0

∴

* The initial of f(x) is 3

∵ b = 1/3

∵ b is the growth factor of the function

* The growth value of the function is 1/3

∵ b = 1/3

∵ 0 < b < 1

∴ The function is exponential decay

* f(x) shows exponential decay

- A vertical stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the x-axis

- If k > 1, the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically stretched

∵

∵ Its parent function is

∴ k = 3

∵ k > 1

∴ the function is stretched vertically

* The function is a stretched of the function

∴ The true statements are:

# The growth value of the function is 1/3

# f(x) shows exponential decay

# The function is a stretched of the function

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
