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

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

if  > the function would enlarge

if > the function would shrinks

Now

For case A

....... > the function would shrinks

For case B

.......> the function would enlarge

For case C

.........> the function would enlarge

For case D

.........> the function would enlarge

Therefore the second option is correct

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
