in the function equation ff (xx ) = 1500 (1.43)^xx, is it growth or decay? what is the percent of the growth/decay? what is the initial value?

The initial value is 1500

growth

43 % growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations are in the form

y = a * b^x

a is the initial value

b is the growth or decay

b>1 is growth b-1 rate  of growth

b <1 decay  1-b rate of decay

f(x) = 1500 * 1.43 ^x

The initial value is 1500

1.43 > 1 so it is growth

1- 1.43 = .43

Change to percent

43 % growth

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
